Olivier Mignon & Nik van der Giesen - Noticeboards of Japan

"They are everywhere. They can be found in almost every street of Japan, visibly standing on the sidewalk or hung on a wall. They take various and sometimes unexpected forms. They are as numerous as vending machines — no small task. They are meant to draw attention. And yet, they remain mostly unnoticed. This is the tragic fate of Japanese noticeboards, locally called keijiban (掲示板)."

Olivier Mignon & Nik van der Giesen were respectively born in Brussels (1983) and Rotterdam (1981). They both live in Kanazawa.

Olivier is the founder of Keijiban. Nik is a photographer and videographer. "Noticeboards of Japan" is their first book together.
