German Photographer in Japan

The photographs of Juergen Specht cover a variety of topics from auto shows to warning signs. He moved to Japan from Germany in 1979. He started taking photographs and got hooked on photography and Japan. After a variety of jobs over the last couple of decades, he now works exclusively as a photographer for hire. The opening site has a gallery of Japanese warning signs, which the photographer considers very obvious. I don't. But the photos are good and well documented.
