Sawajiri Erika Photobook "DAY OFF"

Approximately 10,000 shots taken. A collection that condenses her unadorned true self and natural charm. "DAY OFF", her first photo book in approximately 20 years since "ERIKA" released in 2007. In her gaze, time seems to stand still. A beauty that deepens with age, and an unchanged translucence. Erika Sawajiri captures her "present self" in its entirety, resulting in a definitive photo book that records her "way of life". All outfits are her personal belongings, and she personally selected the shooting locations to match them. She also did her own makeup, and even reveals her bare face without hesitation, filled with her unadorned true self and natural charm. This time, she also reveals an active side that she has rarely shown before. Scenes of her enjoying surfing and skin diving with dolphins underwater are breathtaking. Like a mermaid, she swims freely, and the photographer could not stop shooting, resulting in over 10,000 shots in total. From these, more than 150 carefully selected visuals are included, making this truly a must-have collector's edition. Unadorned, without flattery, innocently blooming with dignity like a single flower, Erika Sawajiri in her true-to-life form. Strength residing in stillness. A firm will beneath softness. With every page, you will feel as if you are touching her "present". This is not just a photo book. This is art that records the beauty and way of life of a woman. [Comment from Erika Sawajiri] Approximately 20 years later, in the final stage of my 30s, this is a book that captures my "present" and my "true self". With heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me. Photography by Kentaro Fuchimoto, MANA, and Manabu Nomoto.

撮影数 約1万カット! 飾らない素顔と自然体の魅力が凝縮 2007年発売の写真集「ERIKA」から約20年ぶりとなる「DAY OFF」。 その眼差しに、時が止まる。年齢を重ねるごとに深みを増す美しさと、変わらぬ透明感。沢尻エリカが"今"の自分をまるごと映し出し、彼女の"生き方"のすべてが記録されている、渾身の写真集が誕生。 衣装はすべて本人の私物で、それに合わせた撮影場所も自らセレクト。メイクも自身で行い、スッピンも惜しみなく披露し、飾らない素顔と自然体の魅力が詰まっています。 今回はこれまであまり見せることがなかったアクティブな一面も初公開。サーフィンを楽しむ姿や、海中でイルカと戯れるスキンダイビングシーンは圧巻。まるで人魚のように自由に泳ぐ彼女の姿に、カメラマンのシャッターが止まらず、最終的に撮影カット数は約1万カット以上に。 その中から厳選に厳選を重ねた150点以上のビジュアルを収録した本作は、まさに"永久保存版"。 飾らず、媚びず、無邪気にただ凛と咲く一輪の花のような、等身大の沢尻エリカ。静けさの中に宿る強さ。柔らかさの奥にある芯のある意志。ページをめくるたび、彼女の"今"に触れるような感覚に包まれるはず。 これは、ただの写真集ではありません。 これは、ひとりの女性の美しさと生き方を記録した、アートです。 【沢尻エリカさんからのコメント】 約20年ぶり、30代最後に私の"今"そして"素"を刻んだ一冊。これまで支えてくれた皆様に、心からの感謝を込めて。 撮影:渕本健太郎、MANA 野元学
