What is the "Dog Breed Photo Book" Publishing Project?
This is a participatory publishing project planned and operated by "Reiwa Publishing," where a single book is created together with owners nationwide. The series focuses on specific dog breeds such as Shiba Inu, Chihuahua, and Pug, creating photo books packed with the charm of each breed.
A major feature is that participation is possible with "photos of everyday life filled with love" taken by family members on their smartphones, without the need for professional equipment. The published books (paperback edition) are permanently stored in the National Diet Library, drawing attention as an official project that can preserve the legacy of a beloved dog for the future.
