Starting with "Satchin," which won the Taiyo Award in the 1960s, Araki's work in the 1970s, exemplified by "Sentimental Journey," which was born from his encounter with his beloved wife Yoko and can be considered the beginning of "Araki's personal photography," and continuing through the 1980s, when he collaborated with renowned editor Akira Suei to create radical depictions and reach the peak of "Eros," as well as demonstrating his outstanding talent in visual expression, and then in the 1990s, after Yoko's death, when he began to depict more sentimental feelings through still lifes and landscapes, has been exploring various styles in accordance with his own feelings and the mood of the times. Since 2000, he has continued to publish a collection of works like a "diary" every year, and since 2010, despite suffering from vision loss in his right eye, he has continued his creative activities, and exhibitions and photobooks have not yet ceased. This book is a collection of photographs published in 2006 in a limited edition of 700 copies, edited by Hisako Motoo. It consists of snapshots and landscapes taken in the alleys and surrounding areas of Setagaya Ward. It's an interesting collection of works that captures Araki's perspective as he wanders the streets under the beautiful blue summer sky.
