Firefly (Signed) is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Yoshio Mizoguchi. Born in Hachioji, Tokyo, he started taking photographs in his own way in 1970, won the Sun Prize for Firefly in 1990, is a member of the photography group Baku, and published his second book, Grass Smells Days, from Nippon Camera Co., Ltd. in 2017. This book is his first book, published in 2013 by Sokyusha. It is composed of portraits of women taken all over the country from the 1980s to the 2000s, and although there are few nudes, it is a wonderful collection of works that are full of sex appeal and innocence, while still exuding a vague eroticism similar to that of Yoshiichi Hara. From the afterword: "At some point, I began to think that women are like fireflies. The fireflies disappeared before my eyes, and I noticed mysterious things called women running and flying about. And when the sweet water of youth disappeared from me, I decided to take new pictures of fireflies with my camera, a firefly broom. And now, more than 35 years have passed since I started taking pictures of fireflies. I hoped to be able to express the passion and subtle sex appeal of women." Limited to 1200 copies. Signed by the photographer .
