A criminal investigation, Japan, 1958

Photographer Yukichi Watabe documented the investigation of a grisly murder that had occurred in Mito (Ibaraki Prefecture) in January 1958. Watabe closely followed two police detectives, one from the Metropolitan Police Department and the other local. Their investigation involved stakeouts around downtown areas of Tokyo, going undercover at a train station, canvassing different neighbourhoods looking for clues, and visiting the tannery where the victim had once worked.
