: Rikitake’s photography is prized for its high production quality and commitment to genuine fashion representation. The Cultural Impact of the Oishii Best Series
"Oishi Best" is a photobook by Rikitake, a photographer/artist associated with documenting lolita fashion—a Japanese street and subcultural style characterized by Victorian- and Rococo-inspired clothing, emphasis on cuteness (kawaii), and intricate styling. Photobooks function as both artistic statements and documentation of subcultural practice; this paper explores how "Oishi Best" contributes to that tradition.
