●Product Description
This photo book is a record of eight photographers who followed the maiko "Fukuno" from Miyagawacho, Kyoto for several months.
Maiko Fukuno.
Her appearance is like a Japanese doll, and she has a clear, modern voice.
These were the only two initial impressions of maiko Fukuno.
As the days passed, her photo data accumulated.
Her beautifully composed profile, the dimple that appears when she smiles, her almond-shaped eyes.
Fukuno shows a fresh expression with every shot.
Fukuno, who seems to disappear into the sparkling trees of Northern Kyoto or the blue of the Shojien pond, is ephemeral and pure.
Fukuno, who is delighted and happy when she thinks of fun things during breaks from shooting...
We, not just eight, but many more friends, continued to photograph various sides of Fukuno for months.
The shooting locations were primarily cultural properties that Kyoto is proud of.
Horino Memorial Museum, Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts James Hall, Tomitaya, Shojien (Shikakutei), Old Mitsui Family Shimogamo Villa, Rinchi-tei (Shojien), Ritsumon-ji Temple, Ofuna-boko Float, Onishi Tsune, Busshara-kan, Myokaku-ji Temple, Kaden, Kodai-ji Temple, Shiorian, etc.

●From Reviews
I wasn't particularly interested in maiko, but I happened to get my hands on the photo book "Maiko Fukuno" through a chance encounter.
As I flipped through the pages, I was completely captivated. Eight photographers express the fleeting beauty of a girl before she becomes an adult, as "Fukuno as seen by myself." She appears ephemeral, mature, or innocent... The different perspectives of each photographer are also interesting (lol).
Most importantly, since it covers 12 months, you can observe the changing kanzashi (hair ornaments), the kimonos, or the accessories like fans and small drums. There are many ways to look at it, and I find myself looking through it repeatedly (unexpectedly). Furthermore, all the shooting locations are different, so it's also interesting to just follow the buildings.
From the "Photos Chosen by Fukuno Herself" at the end of the book, Fukuno's sensibility and personality shine through.
