Yamaji Toshiteru . Pigs and Papa

Toshiteru Yamaji spent ten years photographing a Japanese pig farmer and his herd of swine. In this age of corporate mega pig factory farms it is heartening to see such charming, gentle pictures of the relationship between a farmer and his livestock.

Yamaji was awarded the 13th Japan Self-Publishing Award, Graphic Prize for this photo book, which has now been published by Foil.
