■ "HOPE 311 - The Sun Also Rises" by Herbie Yamaguchi

Photographer Herbie Yamaguchi, who visited the disaster-stricken areas many times as a volunteer following the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, has created this portrait collection of people who believe in tomorrow and live with hope in their hearts, even amid the rubble.

Herbie Yamaguchi has continued to photograph people under the consistent theme of "making people love each other and igniting hope in their hearts." When Yamaguchi visited the areas, he captured the smiling faces of the people of Tohoku, who are living resilient lives toward recovery, despite the grim backdrop, and was filled with human warmth and hope. This is a book for the world that will give you a sense of Japanese identity, including strength and cooperation.

The works in this book are also featured in "Eyes Wide Open" (15), a publication commemorating Leica's 100th anniversary.
