Background information, personal statement by the photographer Naohitom SAKUMA
"'I don’t want my friends to see us holding hands', said my daughter who is at the last year at kindergarten. Uttered with hesitance, which makes me realize something is going to end. She suddenly starts screaming but she suddenly throws me very deep questions, and she suddenly looks very mature. I don’t want to forget this mysterious but fun days with her. I don’t want her to forget our time together. The time we spent together will slowly fade from our memory. Just like a dream. Thinking about our growth, I decided to take pictures. Now, it’s my time to start preparing for my next dream." (Naohito SAKUMA)
