Businessmen may all look run-of-the-mill, but each has his own brand of humour and individuality and is a hero for someone. After his father, who spent his life as a salaryman, died, Aoyama came to respect him deeply, and is moved to find the instants when fathers who sweat and struggle to keep their companies afloat transform into heroes flying through the sky. Sending these iconic suited figures leaping away from the mundane world, he lets them shine and show their individuality, superimposing them on the ideal of his late father. Now a photographer and a son, he continues to photograph businessmen and to imagine the day he too becomes a father.
