'Looking at my father' by Jiro Konami | Tokyo (JAP) | By Lee Fleming

'Looking at my father' is a moving photobook by photographer Jiro Konami who documents his father’s life on a remote island off Toyko. The book was published by Tycoon Books, a Tokyo based independent publisher established by Taro Serikawa and Yosuke Watanabe in 2009 with an aim to discover emerging talent both locally and internationally.

'Looking at my father' captures the daily life of Konami’s father over an eight year time period and through the delicate compilation of photographs, time elapses and the subject ages gracefully. The photobook showcases many tender, humorous and sad moments- Konami’s father posing in front of the camera with bewildered expressions and gestures, stolen glimpses and gradual illness.
