About the Author

Nobuyoshi Araki (Tokyo, 1940) invented the genre of the false photographic journal in 1980. Araki takes his inspiration in the history of his country, his daily life and Japanese eroticism. Situated somewhere on the border between autobiography and the diary, his work features spontaneous pictures of the sky, cats, or Tokyo neighborhoods alongside still lifes or portraits of young women in a variety of staged situations.
