Japanese Close-Ups

This page is a tribute to the “Japanese Close-Up”. The Japanese broadcasting network seems to revolve around this particular style of macro photography, so here’s my attempt to fit in overseas. For the record, I make a point of eating (swallowing is a better word in some cases) at least 1 of everthing I’ve photographed here…including pic #10, the disgustingly slimy raw baby squid(s?). They tasted horrible, just as you’d expect. If you have some good JCUs, send them to me at runningemu@gmail.com, but you have to eat it first…
