Book design by DAIDO Brothers

The first photobook by the twins Yuki and Koki Daido, born in 1994 and raised in Osaka, tracing seven years of their pictures and made as a joint work: they show each other what they shot separately, look it over again, blend their different experiences and images, and choose and join them. It first appeared in 2021 as a private edition of one hundred copies from their own label Sakura no Hana Hompo and is now co-published with Akaaka. Without words they leave their differences as they are and question each other through photographs, and which brother took which picture is never stated. Documentary pictures made mostly on film, with a DIY spirit, of the trite, banal and mundane, seen with a cool, empathetic eye that draws humour, melancholy and irony from rapidly vanishing scenes of Japanese society.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
