"With OBI" is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. This is an expanded edition of "Tokyo Lucky Hole" published in 1990. While the previous work was a large-sized book of just over 250 pages, this work is a large book of about 500 pages in B5 size. Since the early 1980s, Araki, in collaboration with Akira Suei, editor-in-chief of Byakuya Shobo, has been sweeping the world with the magazine "Photography Age," which focuses on erotic and camera magazine-exclusive photographs. In his interviews, "Kabukicho" and "the forefront of sexual customs" were often the motifs. Araki, who said, "Sexual customs are the most avant-garde. They are at the cutting edge of art," visited and photographed adult entertainment establishments such as pink salons, cabarets, and soaplands, and the collection is made up of illustrations. The 1985 amendment to the Entertainment and Amusement Law largely shut out private massage parlours, but this book is a compilation of 1,000 new prints of photos by Araki from those days, with the aim of "recapturing the vibrancy of those days." The publisher and planner, of course, is Suei Akira. Comes with a dust jacket.
