It's sometimes a bit funny when someone walks by a street in Japan and comments that it "looks like a scene from an anime", because, in fact, many anime (Japanese animated films) are inspired and based on real-life locations.
Japanese photographer Akine Coco proves that, at the right time, at the right angle, that statement can come true - when fields, streets, and houses seem to really become film footage.
Akine started taking photos in the summer of 2019 and posting them on her page.Twitter, initially because many friends also participated in taking photos. Most of the photos were taken in Sakai City in Fukui, Japan, where Akine was born. The artist's keen eye and skillful photography have created beautiful works like paintings, making viewers feel like they are lost in the middle of a scene from a Ghibli animation film.
