In Japanese, the word "慟哭" is read as "doukoku.
The meaning is a cry of heartfelt emotion. The English equivalent might be "lamentation," but there might not be a word that fits.
This monkey was lying on its belly on its will and shouting something loud.I do not know what he was thinking.Perhaps he does not understand them either.
But by capturing that moment in a photograph like this, we can think about his state of mind over and over again. It may no longer be our thoughts and feelings.
Listen carefully to this cry from the soul through the pictures.

Yushi K is a Japanese photographer and pediatric surgeon whose black-and-white wildlife portraits explore the quiet structure of life within animals. Informed by the precision and sensitivity of surgery, his work seeks not spectacle, but presence—dignity, fragility, tension, and resilience. By removing color, he invites viewers to confront each subject more directly, beyond appearance. His images embrace margin, silence, and incompleteness, allowing meaning to emerge through the viewer’s own perception. His practice aims to create photographs that are not simply seen, but deeply experienced.
