Info: https://www.yamakei.co.jp/products/2824550260.html Yuzuru Hanyu, who won consecutive Olympic gold medals in men's singles figure skating and continues to shine as a solitary figure even after turning professional. And there is Sports Nippon Newspaper's Kogaito Yoshiki, who has been following Hanyu through his lens and is known as the "god photographer" for his highly artistic photographic expression. Their encounter has dramatically changed figure skating photography in sports journalism. Kogaito's figure skating photos stand apart from the traditional "standard" sports photos. With his fresh sensibility, he creates captivating images. His unique "Kogaito Blue," which emerged after much trial and error, brings out the transparency of Hanyu's presence and has gained immense support from fans. Kogaito passionately stated in an interview, "The world that Hanyu expresses is not only what is visible. By imagining and interpreting what is not visible, I am able to capture the true essence of his performance." This insight into what fascinates Kogaito about Hanyu, along with his beautiful photographs, delves deep into the heart of Yuzuru Hanyu, through the words of sports writer Mitsuru Tanaka.
