"The 1980s were Araki's era," said Shomei Tomatsu, a leading figure in postwar Japanese photography, and the reason he said this was, above all, the great success of the magazine "Shashin Jidai" (The Age of Photography). Akira Suei, editor-in-chief of Byakuya Shobo, wanted to create a magazine for Nobuyoshi Araki that would become a "media" in itself, and launched "Shashin Jidai" in September 1981. Araki's eroticism blossomed in full, it led to the revival of the ailing Daido Moriyama, and it became a platform for the works of Moriyama's disciples such as Keizo Kitajima and Seiji Kurata. It was the birth of a new media that replaced camera magazines published by newspapers. And with the explosive popularity of Shashin Jidai, several magazines that imitated its style were born, one of which was "Shashin Seikatsu" (Life of Photography). This magazine, which features photographer Akira Ishigaki, known for his work ranging from bondage photography to live scenes of Michiro Endo's band "The Stalin," has a chaotic atmosphere with a mix of various photographs, from erotic to orthodox, that is reminiscent of the Photo Age era.
