Hatsukoi is a artistic typographic book to pay homage to the song of the same name by Japanese artist, Utada Hikaru, and the Netflix Japanese love drama series First Love.
It is a book to depict the feelings of sweetness and longing of first love with the colours associated with it amid cool wintery vibes.

I was in love with the Netflix "First
Love" and the story of longing, love
and inner reflection, as well as
the cinematography colours.
I want the visuals
to depict these topics.
With the voice of Utada Hikaru's
voice sounding like falling snow in
the song "Hatsukoi" and the Netflix
show located in Hokkaido, land of
winter, I decided to have paper
and imagery to picture
a wintery dreamscape.
