"Gekisha 'Actresses'" is a photobook by Nobuyoshi Araki, also known by his nickname Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. Published by Byakuya Shobo in 1978, this book, along with his subsequent works "Nobuyoshi Araki's Fake Diary" and "Nobuyoshi Araki's Fake Reportage," shines as a collaboration with editor Akira Suei. It compiles a series from the legendary magazine "Weekend Super," which Suei published before working on "Shashin Jidai" (it seems the series started earlier in a magazine called "New Self," but was banned midway through). In the afterword, "All women are actresses. Photography is men's drool," Araki states that this book is a collaboration with Suei, but Suei handled everything from editing and layout to model scouting, highlighting the remarkable complicity between the two during this period. A "casual photographic true story" with over 20 women. This issue features episodes with female celebrities like Momoe Yamaguchi and Pink Lady, and includes nudes and other images alongside Araki's rambling and nonsensical stories. It was published during the time when Kishin Shinoyama's "Gekisha" series was popular, and there's an anecdote that Shogakukan, the publisher, complained about it. Third printing. No dust jacket.
