"My Beloved Ciro" is a photo collection by Nobuyoshi Araki (1940-), one of Japan's leading photographers. This book is a collection of photos of Ciro, the beloved cat of Araki and his wife Yoko. Ciro, who Araki says is "my lover and my life," came to Araki in March 1988 at the age of four months, but Araki initially disliked cats. However, he completely changed his attitude, saying, "A immediately gave me Ciro's trichomoniasis," and "Oh my, she's just too cute." On the balcony, on the roof of a neighborhood house, on the sofa, in the shower, in Yoko's arms, on Araki's sleeping belly... Ciro behaves freely and carefreely, and Araki takes pictures of him as if he is admiring him. Text is inserted throughout the book, directly conveying Araki's feelings for Ciro. Many of the photos were taken in 1989, when Yoko was hospitalized with uterine fibroids and was absent (she passed away in 1990), and Ciro's presence seems to have been a subject that projected Araki's sentimental mood. Like Masahisa Fukase's "Sasuke," this is an intimate book about the cat and the photographer. First Edition, First Printing
