This short and sweet--and astonishingly beautiful--book of photographs by the Tokyo-born and based Takashi Homma features 32 color images, primarily of the artist's daughter, although there are also some cityscapes and interiors that round out the story with perfect pitch. Homma offers an extremely well calibrated selection of images of his daughter from her first months to about age six: we see her sitting in her high chair; at a picnic; peeking through the car window; and taking some pictures of her own. Luminous, loving and relaxed, these portraits welcome the reader into the artist's inner world without giving anything away. "Tokyo and My Daughter," featuring one of the best family dog pictures ever, is published in the same series as Nieves' "Kim Gordon: Chronicles Vol.1, Mike Mills: Humans," and "Yukari Miyagi: Rabbit & Turtle." Homma has published his work in many international magazines and exhibited worldwide.

ホンマタカシが描くのは、都市の静寂と生命の輝きが交錯する究極の詩情です。本作の本質的な魅力は、被写体との淡くも深い距離感にあります。東京という無機質な背景の中で、少女の成長は「失われゆく美しさ」を痛烈に突きつけ、読者は見る側としての特権と孤独を同時に噛み締めることになるでしょう。 映像化された本作は、写真が持つ一瞬の「点」を、情緒豊かな「線」へと変容させました。静止画では捉えきれない光の揺らぎや空気感が映像で補完されることで、静謐な物語はより重層的な響きを獲得しています。二つのメディアが共鳴し、日常の何気ない断片を、永遠に記憶されるべき芸術へと昇華させているのです。
