I mean, how many times in your photography career will you have the chance to photograph a knife master? Jack Kitano, originally from Japan served the Vancouver restaurant community like no one else. There are stories of chefs who went to their employers and asked for a pay reduction in exchange for Mr. Kitano services.

After many years in Canada he decided to move back to Japan and he’s doing so as we speak. The Vancouver chefs will sorely miss him.
