This photo collection, shot in Hayama and Kyoto, features natural facial expressions that make you feel like an adult is having a relaxing time, a sweet smile like Tsuda’s sweet smile as he eats pudding, and an ennui that exudes a soft charm. This is a book that covers a wide variety of appearances.
