After a decade of commercial photography, Maxwell Tomlinson drove over three thousand miles across Japan, sleeping in the car parks of roadside service stations — the Michi no Eki — with no fixed route and no guidebook. The resulting photographs are a deliberate turn away from the postcard Japan: instead of temples and landscapes, here are weed-strewn car parks, quiet petrol forecourts, roadside curiosities at dusk. What Tomlinson found in these in-between spaces was something harder to name — humour, strangeness, a kind of stillness that the more celebrated destinations couldn’t offer. The title comes from a service station visited during the trip, but over the course of the journey it became something larger: a way of moving through the world, finding contentment in solitude and in the act of looking. A book about photography as much as it is a book of photographs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maxwell Tomlinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52782075576602,"sku":"MAXWELL-HIGHWAY-OASIS","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/3793\/files\/highwayoasis.jpg?v=1788367530","url":"https:\/\/villagebooks.co\/products\/maxwell-tomlinson","provider":"Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
