Jennifer Allison, Lonely Faces of the Fish Market (Documentary/Photojournalism)

The Tsukiji Market is the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world and also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind. With the number of registered employees as of 2010 varying from 60,000 to 65,000, including wholesalers, accountants, auctioneers, company officials, and distributors. In spite of it being a market filled with faces, many of them appear alone, awaiting the next sale.
