Message from the photographer

After school she comes to visit this place. It is a special place that only Takako knows. When time stands still, she fades into the streets that are far from the hustle and bustle of the day. The real Takako. Lively, childlike, but trying to be mature. Everything she does is proof that she loves this town. “I love this ambience where I can be myself. The town knows when I am happy and when I am sad. It knows everything about me.” I saw a girl I have never seen before.

About the subject

I wanted to take her photograph because she stood out since junior high school days.
