Mai Nakama’s “Wandering Dog” (Graf Publishers, 2024) is a limited edition photobook of 300 copies that weaves together themes of life and death through striking black-and-white photography. Beginning with the story of a cow’s passing, the book unfolds into a visual meditation on nature, animals, and everyday life in a rural Japanese town. Nakama alternates between intimate close-ups and stark compositions, allowing light to emerge from darkness, while evoking a sense of transience and quiet observation. Hardcover, 56 pages with 43 photographs, this edition presents a powerful balance of personal narrative and timeless imagery.

Mai Nakama (b. 1987, Yamaguchi, lives in Tokyo) is a Japanese photographer whose work explores themes of memory, everyday life, and the boundaries between presence and absence. She has exhibited widely in Japan and abroad, including Nikon Salon (Tokyo, Osaka, Shinjuku), Book Marute, Gallery Kaido, and Das Japanische Haus in Germany. Her works are held in the Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts collection, and she was awarded the 1Wall Kohara Encouragement Award in 2021. “Wandering Dog” continues her exploration of poetic black-and-white photography rooted in personal narrative and quiet observation.
