The first time Yuzuru Hanyu and Mika Ninagawa met was six years ago when they were photographed for the cover of AERA magazine. Hanyu was 23 years old at the time. In the midst of a set of blue roses, Hanyu stares intently into the lens as if searching for something, and there is still a hint of innocence in his expression. The issue of "AERA," which featured the "Blue Rose" on its cover at this time, was sold out in many stores. It caused a great sensation.
Since Hanyu announced his decision to turn professional in 2022, he has held sessions about once a year, deepening his expression each time. These shoots have resulted in four photo books (Hanyu Yuzuru: The driving force behind his leaps in 2022, Hanyu Yuzuru: The driving force behind his solitary advances in 2023, Hanyu Yuzuru Photo Book Shin and Hanyu Yuzuru Photo Book Gi in 2024).
This time, the photo book "Yuzuru Hanyu Photo Book Tai" will be produced for release in March next year. A culmination of the six-year "Hanyu Yuzuru x Ninagawa Mika" session and a new starting point In addition to carefully selected shots from four photo shoots, unpublished shots are also included. It will also be compiled into a large book measuring 297mm x 297mm for the first time. The dynamic composition of the shots allows you to feel the breath of the photographer as he was taking the photos. "Yuzuru Hanyu Photo Book Tai" is a must-see book. It will be delivered in a special box and is available for pre-order only!
