"With OBI" is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. A book-sized collection of works with the same title was published by Fuyukisha in 1981, but this is an A4-sized collection of works published by Kawade Shobo Shinsha in 1989. The Fuyukisha version is a compilation of texts that Araki has spoken about in the media, while this version is mainly edited with illustrations, but the commentary by Takaaki Yoshimoto is interesting. The following is an excerpt: "The core of customs as grasped by Nobuyoshi Araki does not represent the whole picture of the urban environment. Nor is it a city image picked up from an extremely personal, arbitrary preference. The image of the encounter between "customs," which is a measure unique to this photographer and at the same time universal, and the streetscape, is central to this photographer.... However, it does not give the impression that he intentionally chose the subject, the time, or the composition after carefully considering it. The reason is that what he spent was not the time he spent taking pictures, but the time his unconscious walked.... This is because the unconscious, which is a reservoir of time, is the mechanism for taking pictures." With obi.
