In the late 1940s, Takeko and Koichi Takahashi bought a plot of land in Pippu that became a tomato farm, and they lived there for the best part of 80 years in much the same way. At 5am they rose to sow, grow and harvest tomatoes. Their grandson photographed them. Before his grandfather died, he thought photographing his own family was almost like cheating.
