"Our Little Sister" is a photobook by Japanese photographer Mikiya Takimoto. Born in 1974, he studied under Tamotsu Fujii from 1994 and became independent in 1998. Takimoto works in a wide range of fields, including advertising photography, photographic artwork, commercial films, and movies. He has gained attention for his advertising photography for "Toshimaen Pool," "TOYOTA," "Suntory," and "Laforet Harajuku," and since 2012, he has been in charge of cinematography for director Hirokazu Kore-eda's films, winning the Jury Prize in the Competition Section of the Cannes International Film Festival for "Like Father, Like Son" and the Japan Academy Prize for Best Cinematography for "Our Little Sister." Meanwhile, he also focuses on his activities as an artist, and in 2017 he held an exhibition on the theme of architect Le Corbusier. This book is composed of photographs that documented the process of shooting the movie "Our Little Sister," in which Takimoto participated. The film beautifully balances the rich natural scenery of Kamakura, with its sea and mountains, the plants of each season, and the heartwarming scenes created by the four actresses playing a family. As director Hirokazu Kore-eda notes at the end of the book, it carefully captures the atmosphere of family, even within the fictional space of a film. (Cover shows signs of yellowing and staining.)
