_Mana Yamamoto’s VOICE
“I have been thinking about what I can do and what I can tell people through my long association with mizuiro ind. For this book, I asked everyone I usually work with and trust to be involved. I believe that we have created a completely new world that has never existed before by feeling ‘mizuiro ind’ through various perspectives of different personalities and expressing them together. In my daily shooting, I feel this job is a team. You can never do it alone. I learned it again in the process of making this photo book. Feel the clothes, feel the sound, feel it with your eyes. I think this is such a book.”
