girls blue by Japanese photographer and artist Hiromix (real name Toshikawa Hiromi), a charming relic of the 90s Japanese photo scene. Published in 1998 in the midst of ‘girly photo’ mania (the boom of young female photographers), this photo book captures friends, food, flowers and pets on the streets of Tokyo. An image of Sofia Coppola also features – five years after the book was published, in 2003, Hiromix had a cameo in her cult, Tokyo-set film Lost in Translation.
