Product Description

Etude is the highly anticipated first solo photobook of Sakura Kawasaki, a member of the popular Japanese idol group Nogizaka46.

Known by fans as “Sakutan,” Sakura Kawasaki showcases a wide range of expressions—from innocent charm to elegant maturity—in this beautifully photographed collection.

The photobook was shot in France, capturing two contrasting yet equally beautiful locations:

• Paris – the romantic capital known for its stylish streets and timeless atmosphere

• Nice – a sunny seaside city along the French Riviera

Through these two distinct settings, the book presents Sakura’s evolving emotions and expressions across five days of filming, structured chronologically to tell a story almost like a movie.
