In these portraits of children holding vegetables and fruits between their necks and shoulders, Yokonami has continued to capture the "unconscious moments" of children. The children who were 3 to 5 years old are now in junior high school, and they are standing in front of the camera again in the same costumes and poses as they were at that time.
