About the Item
ESCRIPTION
Oversized paperback photography book by Taishi Hirokawa, published in 1987. 84 pages. Text in English and Japanese.
A surreal and charming portrait of rural Japan in the 1980s, this series pairs high fashion looks from designers like Issey Miyake and Comme des Garçons with ordinary people—fishermen, schoolchildren, and farmers—in their everyday environments. Shot across the Japanese countryside, these photographs blend documentary stillness with editorial styling.
“Sonomama means ‘just as you are,’ and Hirokawa’s portraits capture a joyfully direct relationship between people and clothing—stripped of pose, full of presence.”
