The son of a Japanese father and Belgian mother, photographer Tetsuro Miyazaki grew up in a multilingual and multicultural environment.
"My younger sister and I were raised in Dutch-French-bilingual Brussels, where our dad would speak Japanese to us, our mom would speak Dutch, and they would communicate in French between themselves," says Miyazaki, now 39. Annual summer vacations spent in Japan and Saturday school helped him connect further with his father's culture.
Reflection on his own cultural heritage was a catalyst for the "Hafu2Hafu" project, a collection of portraits of other bicultural Japanese people.
