Included in the first print run is a 32-page booklet titled “Seedlings,” featuring handwritten notes from Tachibana about each location. She discusses her fear of the ocean, her love of 4 AM train stations, and her grandmother’s garden in the countryside.
Critics have noted that the photo book contains very little explicit content often associated with the genre. Instead, Tachibana uses clothing and shadow as tools of suggestion. She is sensual because she is real , not because she is exposed. This artistic choice solidifies Growing as a legitimate art piece, capable of sitting on a coffee table next to high-fashion magazines or cinema monographs. Beyond the photography, the physical production of the book is noteworthy. Bound in a soft-touch matte cover with a single embossed lily (a nod to growth and renewal), the 144-page volume feels substantial.
This honesty is resonating deeply with readers. Pre-order numbers for Growing reportedly exceeded the publisher’s projections by 300%. It appears the audience is hungry for authenticity.
