A themed collection of Araki photographs. Issue 14: Obscenities and Strange Black Ink Stories
The book is a significant historical record of Tokyo's sex industry through the photographs by Nobuyoshi Araki, which are raw, candid and explicit images documenting the behind the scenes of sex work in Japan.
Tokyo Love is the photographic collaboration between Nan Goldin and Nobuyoshi Araki, made at a time when orthodox social structures were breaking down. Goldin captures the desperation beneath the bravado and self-conscious sexuality of young people in today's consumerist societies, and chose for this book to photograph young lovers in the bars and nightclubs of Tokyo. Araki chose to do portraits of teenage girls in studio. Their combination is striking and erotic, a portait of Tokyo Youth.
