About the Work

Japan has a deep appreciation for aesthetics in cooking, with sushi being exalted as one of the finest culinary crafts. The Japanese word shokunin, meaning “artisan”, is reserved for skilled sushi masters who approach their work with a spiritual sense of purpose, or ikigai. In this monograph, author and James Beard Award-winning photographer Andrea Fazzari profiles twenty of the most celebrated sushi masters in Japan, capturing their philosophy, dedication, and aesthetics through stunning photography and intimate essays. Sushi Shokunin is a must-have for sushi enthusiasts and those interested in fine food culture, offering a rare glimpse into the world of top shokunin who view sushi making as a way of life, not just a career.
