築地 - Tsukiji

Tokyo's famed Tsukiji fish market closed its doors on October 6th, 2018, after an 83-year run. I was able to gain special access to the inner market on that day to document this historic event. The resulting photography book "Tsukiji" - shot over a period of two years (2016-2018) - offers a look at this culturally significant, uniquely Japanese market and neighborhood. Fifty-four black and white photographs are presented alongside essays by "Food Sake Tokyo" author and Washington Post contributor Yukari Sakamoto. The book’s first edition was released on March 15th, 2022, and has sold out. A Collector’s Edition was released on June 24th, 2022, and has also sold out. A selection of images from the project is shown below.
