As a freelance photo journalist, Munesuke Yamamoto has witnessed numerous deaths in war zones around the world, but he is now focusing on the living, specifically elderly people in Japan.
"I have realized I cannot depict a death without knowing about how he or she lived and how precious a life is," Yamamoto, 53, said, referring to his new photo collection, "See You Tomorrow -- Scenes of Old Age in the Japanese Archipelago."
The collection has about 80 photos taken during the last seven years of people aged between around 70 and 100.
