Haru and Mina | Hideaki Hamada | Seisodo 2025 [SIGNED]

"This book is the latest edition of Haru and Mina, a series in which Hideaki Hamada captures the lives of his two children. From over 8,000 photographs taken over approximately eleven years between July 2009 and April 2020, Hamada selected 313 images, compiled into a 504-page volume.

The book quietly follows the ordinary, fleeting days of two children - everyday scenes so familiar they could easily be forgotten, flowing gently through the recurring seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Yet, this flow of time inevitably moves toward an eventual departure from each other.

The familiar landscapes - ones anyone might have seen somewhere before - awaken something precious deep within the viewer’s heart. Before one realizes it, the images draw you in, evoking a gentle, aching nostalgia, as if sinking into the faint memories of distant days that linger softly in the mind.

To take photographs is to preserve memories - to call past time back into the present.
This collection quietly speaks to the essence of that act." - From publisher's website
