The pure and delicate portrayal of his young subjects reflects both their innocent joy and the photographer’s empathetic perspective. The collection offers an intimate glimpse into moments where the subjects exude a subtle sense of delight and authenticity. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of letters titled "Letters from the Girls", where Mochizuki thanks his young models, expressing gratitude for their participation in the creative process. This heartfelt touch enhances the book’s significance, emphasizing the meaningful relationships between the artist and his subjects. A must-have for collectors of Japanese photography and art, this rare volume showcases the delicate beauty and purity of youth through Mochizuki's discerning lens.
