Third printing from 2001. It was reprinted soon after its release. The cover shows signs of aging, and the spine and back cover have discoloration from sun exposure, but the gravure pages are in good condition. Many memorial and retrospective photo books have been published after Natsume's death, but this one is particularly noteworthy because it was taken by photographer Kiyomi Tagawa. Tagawa, who did not achieve much fame and passed away recently, was the photographer who took the most photos of Natsume. The advertisement for this photo book stated, "Includes photos taken between 1975 and 1985, including many previously unreleased photos," which covers the entire period of Natsume's activities. Tagawa reportedly decided to make photographing Natsume his life's work after he happened to be present at Natsume's debut. That work was brought to an eternal halt by Natsume's death, but Tagawa had a vast amount of Natsume's film left. This book is given special meaning in that it brought those photos to light. The last sample photo is from a Kanebo commercial shoot, and it has a continuation where the arm covering her chest moves down. With permission from the bereaved family due to Tagawa and Natsume's close relationship, about three shots showing her bust are included. This is a highlight that is impossible in other photo books. Natsume herself, depending on the situation, seemed to be the type who could bare herself with enthusiasm. There were such examples in the NHK drama "The Trading Company" by Ben Wada and the movie "The Life of Hanako Kiryuin" by Hideo Gosha. Both times, it is said that she offered to be photographed, not because of requests from those around her, but because she judged it necessary herself. In a sense, it can be said that it succinctly represents Natsume's personality, and it is believed that Tagawa's request to the bereaved family for permission to publish was not solely out of ambition.
