A quiet and deeply personal book, Tokyo and My Daughter brings together Takashi Homma’s two enduring subjects - his hometown and his child - in a tender, observational sequence first published in 2006 and presented here in its complete edition. With disarming simplicity, Homma captures moments of his daughter growing up against the backdrop of Tokyo’s urban sprawl: from quiet street corners to car interiors to moments of curious play and everyday stillness.
These scenes of domestic intimacy are set against Tokyo’s built environment, where Homma’s understated, precise style treats each cityscape with the same affection and attention as the portraits.
Both a documentary and a love letter, Tokyo and My Daughter is a gentle reflection on time, place, and the closeness between the photographer and the subject.
