Kazuki Watanabe grew up watching pigs being butchered on a daily basis at his grandparents' butcher shop.When he entered university, he was shocked by what he saw at a pig farm near campus, and since then he has visited the farm many times. I continue to capture it on camera as a photographic subject. In the summer of 2013, Kazuki Watanabe photo exhibition "Pig" was held at B GALLERY.

Key point: This book contains photos that show the actual process of how the pigs we eat are turned into meat. This book will remind you that we must not forget that we live by taking the lives of others.
