Shot entirely in Miyako Island with the concept "An Unadorned True Self of a 27-Year-Old Encountered in Miyako Island."

The setting for this photobook is Miyako Island, surrounded by beautiful seas and rich nature. It captures fleeting expressions as if you were traveling with Reina Kondo.

The photography was handled by Yoko Yamashita, who has collaborated on her annual calendars. Thanks to the trust built over many years of shooting together, this collection includes many unadorned and relaxed, natural expressions that could only be drawn out between them.

This is the "first and last photobook" that captures the charm of Reina Kondo, unseen in her usual activities, and her "now" at 27 years old, in an unadorned and natural state.

Reina Kondo's Comment:

I truly love the sea and always dreamed of shooting in the waters of Miyako Island. I was so happy that this dream came true, unexpectedly, in the form of a photobook. During the shoot, I was soothed by the sound of the waves and the rich natural air, allowing me to shoot in a relaxed state. I believe this photobook will show my natural, unadorned self. Please enjoy it as if you were traveling to Miyako Island together!
