Nobuyoshi Araki is a photographer who has been active since the 1960s and continues to publish his work even now, at the age of 77. This book, "Photography of a Crazy Old Man: Anniversary of Death," is part of Araki's well-known photobook series, "Photography of a Crazy Old Man: Anniversary of Death," and is written by the publisher as "Araki takes photos of the anniversary of death in Japan (August 15th)." The photos in this book are dated "'15 8 15" (there is also "8 16"), and were taken with the intention of marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the war (although it is questionable whether they were actually taken in one day, given the content...). "Photography of a Crazy Old Man: Anniversary of Yoko's Death," published in the same year, only contained photos from "'15 1 27," so it is a sequel in concept, but in the past, he has published photobooks such as "After the War" (1993), which began shooting on August 16th, and "This Year," which ended in front of the Nijubashi Bridge at the Imperial Palace on August 15th, in 2005, the 60th anniversary of the end of the war, which shows how strong Araki's desire for the end of the war is.
The book features a series of snapshots of Araki's signature motifs, such as flowers, dolls, workplaces, the sky, food, and copies of television, as well as images of famous people such as Shigesato Itoi, Kanako Higuchi, Kiko Mizuhara, and Daido Moriyama. Signed by the photographer .
