Tomoko Sawada

In Japan, there is a tradition of arranged marriages (omiai). This involves young women having their photographs taken at a professional portrait studio.

These pictures are distributed to trustwohrty relatives by the women's parents in the hope that a suitable husband will be found.

From this tradition Tomoko Sawada realises a series of 30 self-portraits.
