"Married Women Eros 5/X" is a photobook by Nobuyoshi Araki (1940), one of Japan's leading photographers. Published by Futabasha in 2000, it is the fifth volume in a series of photobooks compiling the long-running "Married Women Eros" series that began in 1998 in the weekly magazine "Shukan Taishu." The subjects are not professional models, but ordinary married women living in the city. Photographed in places that are integral to their daily lives—homes, hotels, street corners, etc.—the photographs capture not only the women's expressions and demeanor, but also the furnishings, clothing, and streetscapes of the rooms, conveying the atmosphere of Japanese life from the late 1990s to around 2000. This series captures the theme of women, which Araki has pursued for many years, from a one-on-one relationship between photographer and subject, and its improvisational nature and intimate sense of distance are major attractions. This book compiles five sets of photographs into one volume, and its design, with its cover featuring numerous images and vibrant obi (paper band), is also striking, reflecting the weekly magazine culture of the time.
