Ken'ichi Murata "Magic Moon"
Kenichi Murata's new photobook following "Sleeping Beauty", "Pandora's Key", "Sakashima no Lilith", "Shoujo Kannon" and "Angel Collection"!
========
Magic that removes taboos
〜A fairy world full of magical and dense eros, modeled after Tsukino Luna〜
========
I have to steal the bear cub's key
can open my door
Don't be fooled by bear cubs
I get stabbed with a cute face
〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜
Generous innocence and heart-filled love.
The commitment to white socks is also a key point!
--Tama (girlish watercolor painter)

When the shooting starts, I am so absorbed in "the world" that I forget the melancholy feelings and time.
The shutter sound is heard farther and farther away, and the reality is getting further and further away.
It's a little scary, but the world away from reality is very interesting.
It's like a magical world.
I think that Mr. Murata's work has such a magical power.
When I saw Murata's work for the first time, I wanted to become a resident of the world he created.
I hope some kind of magic will happen to you who pick up this work.
Yes, a moon-like magic that illuminates the pitch-black world.
--Luna Tsukino
