Are the midweek blues getting you down? We have the remedy in the form of this month’s best art books—handily compiled for your perusing—one of which, Tokyo and My Daughter by Japanese image-maker Takashi Homma, features this tiny tearful protagonist and her wooly companions. The photobook depicts “the early years of a young girl (curiously, she is the daughter of a friend and not Homma’s own daughter),” writes Louise Benson, “documented in intimate shots of her at home amid the thrum of family life.” These are interspersed with evocative photographs of Tokyo, the book’s setting, resulting in a compelling study of “the minutiae of life in a big city”.
