Uchi wa Seiniku-Ten

うちは精肉店

A short but very poignant book about a small slaughterhouse in Osaka, talking about not just the process of slaughtering a cow for human consumption, but what it means to take the life of that animal. The imagery can be graphic, but it serves to remind us of many things, all of which the writing in the book touches on but ultimately leaves to the reader.
