Shot across a variety of familiar, recognizable locations, mainly in urban environments, Homma’s portraits have an illuminating quality that reveal a psychological depth in their subjects. His portraits are guided by empathy and a desire to observe people as they are—free from manipulation or staging. The result is a more inclusive, nuanced visual representation of Japanese identity—expanding the lens through which Japanese people are seen both within Japan and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 x 280 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e232 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Dashwood Books \/ Session Press, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DASHWOOD BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42231152476242,"sku":"HOMMA-PORTRAIT","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/8094\/5490\/files\/TAKASHI-HOMMA-PORTRAIT-OF-J-01.jpg?v=1765220443","url":"https:\/\/ladywhiteco.mom\/products\/takashi-homma-portrait-of-j","provider":"LADY WHITE CO.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
