--Yuzuru Hanyu Photobook Gi
As an athlete and an artist, Yuzuru Hanyu continues to fascinate the world with expressions that no one else has been able to achieve. Whether he is breaking records one after another or not getting the results he wanted, he has transformed all of these experiences into expression. In "Yuzuru Hanyu Photo Collection GI," we will explore the expressive power that Hanyu has built up over the past 29 years.
The key visual is a set of sunflowers with orange hues, and we selected a cut that is impressive for its expression that seems to embrace everything. A special presence emanates from among the flowers full of vitality. In a set surrounded by cherry blossom petals, she picks up the petals herself and changes her expression one after another. We bring you the whole story in full color.
In this exclusive interview on the theme of "technique," we will explore the origins of Hanyu's expression. We will also include reports on the ice tour "RE_PRAY," which he took on in his second year as a professional, Notte Stellata, Fantasy on Ice, and more.
