Moon Rainbow | Eri Morita | Fugensha 2025 [SIGNED]

"This body of work documents the 18 years of living with her family of three. After giving birth to her daughter in New York, they moved to Maui, Hawaii, where they began their journey to find a place to put down roots as a family. After dotted around Tokyo, Shanghai, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, and then drifted to Santa Monica, California, they traversed the coastline and finally settled in the seaside city of San Diego.

...

With a clear gaze and distance, Morita captured her family over nearly two decades. The resulting body of work transcends the genre of private-documentary, connecting to a universal narrative of family that crosses boundaries. "Happiness, miscommunication, peace, loneliness, these all exist in the same place at the same time.

'Joy, misunderstanding, comfort, loneliness, all exist in the same place, at the same time. Family is something complex, often painful, and yet irreplaceable. Even now, I find it mysterious. But I’ve come to learn that even if we don’t fully understand each other, we can still stay close.' " - from publisher's website
