"Naju" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Jiro Kasai. This is his first collaboration with Match & Company. The story behind the creation is included in the attached document (a conversation between Kasai, Machiguchi, and model Kiyoko), so here is an excerpt from it: "Machiguchi: I thought "Tokyo Dance" was very closed off. They were using colors to cover it up (laughs), but it felt like they were competing with just explosive power. So, around the time that photobook was made, I was making "Ikiru (Masashi Sanai)" and was in a completely opposite world. But even before that, I had the feeling that if I were to make a photobook for Jiro, it wouldn't be in Tokyo. The good thing about "Tokyo Dance" is that it seems open but it's suffocating, but that's not the case. So next time, I felt like I should go the opposite direction. But when I actually tried to make it, I didn't have any photos..." Because there were a lot of color photobooks at the time, we both shared the desire to make a monochrome photobook, and so this photobook was created. This book also has a beautiful red-based binding.
