Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki's photo collection "Winter (Second Printing, With OBI)". This book is composed of photos taken in 1989 in a vertical position of the city of Tokyo. As the obi states, "This is a tribute to all living things that are about to perish, taken while staring at the shadow of death approaching my beloved wife Yoko," Yoko was diagnosed with uterine sarcoma in the summer of 1989 and was hospitalized, and passed away in January 1990. Also, during this period, buildings were being built one after another in the city, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, and the Tokyo scenery that Araki, who grew up in the downtown area, knew was being lost. This is a sentimental photo collection that overlaps the death of his wife and the death of the city. The following is from the text by Shunji Ito at the end of the book: "Nobuyoshi Araki has been capturing the deep emotions and unconsciousness of the city of Tokyo, which is undergoing great transformation. His photographs, which at first glance appear to be ordinary scenes of Tokyo, reveal the various relationships between the individual Araki and the city of Tokyo, as well as the foundations that make up the body and mind of the man known as Araki. His experiences and emotions are intertwined with Tokyo like honey, synchronizing with the transformation of Tokyo itself." Second printing. With dust jacket.
