A collection of works by Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, "Ara-kism (Signed)". It was Akira Suei, editor-in-chief of "Shashin Jidai", a magazine that dominated the 1980s and focused on Araki, who declared, "Araki is the media", rather than "photography is the media". Nicknamed "Sue", his ideas and editing skills were highly supported by Araki. Araki is called a media not only for his abilities as a photographer, but also for his distinctive character and unique power of words. This book is a massive work of over 400 pages that compiles all the writings and words that Araki left behind in various media from the 1960s to the mid-1990s. "Starting with his impressions on receiving the first Taiyo Award in 1964, and ending with his personal feelings on realism in 1994, Nobuyoshi Araki's writings and comments collected here are an attempt to grasp the mysterious and fluid nature of photography. All of these words over the past 30 years are in some sense photography theory, expressing Araki's unique attitude towards the world and the times, and are a special monologue of a photographer who has been brought to life by photography and has given life to photography" (from the obi). Edited by Shunji Ito. Signed by the photographer .
