"Hana Kinbaku" is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. This book was published in 2008 on the occasion of an exhibition at Taka Ishii Gallery, and is based on Araki's representative motifs of "flowers" and "bondage", and consists of a total of nearly 1,500 works. "Bound photos" were serialized in "S&M Sniper" in the late 1970s. The series was compiled into a collection of works, "Arakin Z" (1981), and from the 1980s onwards, he and Suei published many bondage works in the popular magazine "Photography Era". As for "flowers", he became obsessed with them after being attracted to the withered red spider lilies blooming at a temple near his parents' house, and since the 1990s after Yoko's death, Araki's feelings have been projected through many "flowers". Bondage tells the story of Araki's "erotos", and flowers depict "thanatos". This is a book that will overwhelm you with its chaos where "sex," "life," and "death" intersect.
