Holy Night presents photographs that Issei Suda took on Christmas Eve 1991 in Tokyo.
“How many Japanese people think of Jesus at Christmas? On Christmas Eve, at least, they buy a yule log before going home, and loving couples get together for the most romantic evening of the year. These traditions have become commonplace in Japan, and it would be pointless to suddenly claim to be a Buddhist and cry out, “You idiots, we’re not even Christians!” – Issei Suda
