"Angel Festival" is a photobook by Nobuyoshi Araki (1940-), one of Japan's leading photographers. Araki has published as many as 500 photobooks since his privately published "Xerox Photobook" (25 volumes) in 1970. This book is a large-format photobook published in 1992, likely released in conjunction with his solo exhibition "Angel Festival" held at Parco Gallery and other venues that same year (also presented as "Araki Cinema" at Parco Theatre). It mainly consists of photographs of women, including portraits and nudes, and is striking for its erotic yet melancholic and sentimental expressions. The occasional photographs of flowers and landscapes are poetic and enhance the mood. The impact of the photographs and the layout are enjoyable thanks to the large format, and the book's design, by Seiichi Suzuki, who has worked on many of Araki's photobooks, is elaborate, with photographs of different sizes and paper types inserted between pages, and fold-out sections. This is the second printing.
