The Zurich-based art publisher Nieves has just released Tokyo And My Daughter, a book by photographer Takashi Homma. It's the latest in a series of artist titles that includes Sonic Youther Kim Gordon's Chronicles, Vol. 1 and Thumbsucker director Mike Mills' Humans [Hey, I wanna be a one-man-brand in Japan, too...] :
Takashi Homma’Äôs own ’ÄúI love my daughter very much. I love Tokyo very much.’Äù declaration is probably the key to reveal the connection between the graceful and intimate sequence of images depicting Homma’Äôs daughter and the city of Tokyo. With his incredible touch and distance he again creates a special world of his own, documenting his daughter from being a toddler to a young little girl through the everyday places in and around their life.Tokyo And My Daughter by Takashi Homma, $20 +shipping from Switzerland [nieves.ch via jeansnow]
