Background Story
In 2008, Japan began promoting industrial areas as tourism destinations. Around the same time, Hidemichi Aoki introduced his visionary idea of turning factory night views into an art form. His first calendar, “Dramatic Factory Nights” (2010), sold out immediately — sparking Japan’s fascination with the glowing beauty of factories at night. Two years later, the “THE FACTORY STYLE” brand was born, and it continues to be a beloved art series across Japan.
