This is the 15th issue of Vacuum, a photography magazine based in Osaka, Japan. With as little text as possible and every square inch of every page covered in photographs, the magazine pushes the boundaries of contemporary street photography. Each of the participating photographers is free to pursue their photography without a guiding theme to limit their scope. "Volume 15" features new work by Mei Hirano, Ryohji Tsuchiya, Kotone Taniguchi, Yuka Matsushita, Hsuan Lang Lin, Yuko Hirano, Jun Abe, Nagisa Goto, Ryosuke Koshino, Takuya Suzuki and Shogo Yamada.

"I want to take good photos. Cool photos.
That's what I always think about when I'm shooting for Vacuum, always inspired by what the other members can produce.
And yet, despite all this passion, the cover of VACUUM 15 is a photo I just happened to take at my grandmother's house without much thought. I simply thought the pineapple looked cool. A supernatural object amidst the ordinariness of everyday life.
Vacuum 15 is once again filled with great photos.
Stay tuned for issue 16!”
