This is the inaugural issue of the Japanese culture magazine "spoon." Founded in 2000, "spoon." is published by Prevision and has built its own unique style centered on photographic expression, traversing fashion, film, music, and art. Edited by Makoto Saito, who also worked on "H," its girly sensibility and emphasis on narrative stood out in the magazine scene of the time. The visuals, featuring photographers such as Takashi Homma and Yoko Takahashi, can be said to symbolize the relationship between culture and photography from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. In this preparatory issue produced prior to the magazine's launch, Takashi Homma photographed Mikako Ichikawa for the cover, and the photographs of children at Gotemba Outlet and Toshimaen included in the magazine were also by Homma. The perspective of lightly capturing everyday life is already present, and Ayame Goriki, who was 8 years old at the time, also appears in it. This is a documentary that shows the early direction of the magazine.
