For Hello I Love You, Ludwig Nikulski traveled through Japan with a Japanese love letter. From Tokyo to the east coast, through the deserted region of Fukushima, over a road cut into the ice through the Hachimantai Mountains, to the west coast, through green hills back to Tokyo, he showed the letter to the people he met and documented his search. Hello I Love You won the bronze medal at the German Photobook Award 2018/19 and was a finalist for the Award for Emerging Artists in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania 2018/19.
