FCCJ Regular member Khandaker Anisur Rahman is a Bangladeshi photojournalist who has lived in Japan for more than twenty years. His photos offer a glimpse of Bangladesh's beautiful landscape, the lives of its people, fashion, festivals, as well as its political activities.

"As a photojournalist, I feel it a privilege to show my images to journalist colleagues at our club in Tokyo," says Khandaker. "Bangladesh has a positive image in Japan and our two countries enjoy a cordial and friendly relationship based on understanding and mutual trust."
