On 14 January 1958, the disfigured and amputated body of a man was discovered near Lake Sembako in Japan. Two investigators from Tokyo came to help the local police solve what seemed at first sight to be a banal case. But it is not to be. For the first time, a photographer is allowed to accompany the police to document the case. Watabe followed the inspector as he interviewed witnesses (workers in a tannery factory, local policemen, etc.) and scoured Tokyo's most insalubrious districts - its bars, bridges, passageways, hospitals - in search of the murderer. Much more than a police investigation, Watabe's images reveal a Tokyo of the 1950s, rarely shown in this way.
