Vanishing Africa

In this illustrated, large-format journal, a Japanese photographer and American writer record their cross-cultural experiences living in a hut of a family of the Samburu tribe at various times for nearly a decade. Through their powerful photographs and insightful and personal text, we visit the Samburu, a pastoral tribe living in the semi-arid savannahs and deserts of northern Kenya, who pride themselves on both their independence and their adherence to traditional ways. This intimate portrait, crafted in the tradition of the acclaimed "Last of the Nuba", captures the daily life and ancient rituals of a fascinating tribe.
