Keiko Tominaga has photographed "hikikomori" sufferers as they try to return to society. Hikikomori is a condition that has been identified in Japan, of mostly young people who stay at home and rarely leave their room. This phenomenon has also been increasingly recognised in other developed countries around the world. Together with the photographs she has collected the words written by the people themselves to accompany their photographs.
Zen Foto also launches a new book to accompany the exhibition.
