Gekko Shashin is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. This was published in November 2019 and is the latest collection of Araki's works to date. It is composed of precious images taken in the late 1960s during his time at Dentsu. In 1964, Araki won the first Taiyo Award for "Satchin," and in 1971, he released his privately published "Sentimental Journey," which is considered his actual debut work. In the years leading up to that, even though he was still an employee of Dentsu, he spent his days honing his photography skills by "self-creating" photographs using the company's studio and various equipment. The images were pasted into scrapbooks purchased at Gekkoso, an art supply store in Ginza, and Araki himself laid them out and compiled them into a "collection of works." With the discovery of this series in a warehouse, all of them were copied into this work and released as the genius Araki's "Blue Age." It is a large work of 510 pages.
