About the Author:
Patrick Hochner began taking photographs in his native Alsace when he was 14, using the family bathroom as his darkroom.

Arriving in Japan in the late 1970s, he has called Japan home for the past 30 years. He and his wife Akiko have fallen in love with the city of Kyoto, the old imperial capital, where he is currently documenting the Hanamachi geisha district--an amazing world full of grace and beauty. They spend half their time in Nice, France.
