Mai Nakama

Mai Nakama (born 1987, Yamaguchi) is a Tokyo-based Japanese photographer whose practice centres on black-and-white imagery drawn from rural Japan — life, death, and the textures of daily existence rendered in stark, intimate compositions. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Das Japanische Haus e.V. in Leipzig, Germany.

This collection gathers her photobooks and artist publications available through Lokator100. The primary title held is Wandering Dog, a 2024 limited-edition photobook published by Graf Publishers, comprising 43 black-and-white photographs. It sits within the broader field of contemporary Japanese photography represented across our Photobooks catalogue.

Each title is dispatched carefully from Germany. Bibliographic details and condition notes are provided where relevant.
