"Tamagawa (Signed)" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Tae Toma. While working on photography for magazines and books, Toma has also observed the ordinary landscapes of the land where she lives and its surroundings. After works such as "cornershop" in 1999, she presented "Tamagawa" at the Shinjuku Nikon Salon in 2003. The setting for this work is the Tamagawa River, which flows through the suburbs of Tokyo, and its surroundings. Walking through familiar places such as riverbanks and residential areas, she captures not the landscapes that symbolize the land, but rather the things that exist there by chance and the traces of people's lives from a quiet distance. The fact that she titled it "Tamagawa" rather than the kanji "多摩川" is also important, as it shows Toma's attitude of distancing herself from the preconceived image associated with the place name and confronting the landscape before her eyes. After that, Toma continued to observe the subtle distance between herself and the land, changing locations, and creating "KUDAKA" in Okinawa, and then "TOTTORI" which she produced in her new home. This work is an important early series that clearly demonstrated the core principles of his creative work that continue to this day. Comes with a commemorative signature .
