This photobook features professional athlete Yuzuru Hanyu, photographed by Toru Yaguchi.

Yaguchi approaches Hanyu, an artist on ice renowned for his versatile expressiveness, through a studio photography style.

Hanyu effortlessly pulls off noble suits, casual styles, and fashionable outfits, seamlessly creating the world Yaguchi envisions.

From his earnest gaze and gentle smile to his alluring nuances, his expressions are full of diverse charm.

Yaguchi immerses himself in the various poses and physical expressions that unfold in time with the music, vividly capturing each moment.

The book includes a selection of images from the vast collection of photos taken over the past two years for magazines such as "ESSE" and "Figure Skating Life," as well as photos from Hanyu's appearances at the "Noto Peninsula Reconstruction Support Charity Performance" and "notte stellata 2025."

The title "Hane" (羽) was chosen to symbolize Yuzuru Hanyu's transition to professional skating and his move to a stage where he can pursue his own expression more freely.

In addition to the substantial 160-page A4-sized photobook, it includes a double-sided A3-sized poster as a bonus. Furthermore, a making-of video can be viewed via the QR code on the cover.
