■ "In Almost Every Picture #8" by Akutagawa Hironori

Photographer Akutagawa Hironori photographed his pet rabbit, Oolong, with various objects on its head, including waffles, Baumkuchen, toilet paper, and toys, and posted the photos on his blog. This work, which became popular, has now been turned into a book. The book chronicles the loving, playful days of Oolong balancing strange objects on its head and Akutagawa photographing them.

The publisher is Kesselskramer, a Dutch advertising agency founded by Eric Kessels and Johan Kraimer. Despite being an advertising agency, the company is known for publishing unique visual books. This is one of the books in the "In Almost Every Picture" series, in which Eric Kessels compiles and compiles works by authors who have touched his heartstrings.
