"Kirishin" is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers, known by his nickname Araki for his unique appearance. In 2013, Araki lost the sight in his right eye due to central retinal artery occlusion. Since then, his creative motivation has not only weakened but also increased, and he has released works that incorporate new perspectives and views on life and death in his photography and printing. His works include "Love in the Left Eye," in which the right half of a photographed positive film was filled in and printed, as if to evoke the view of his closed right eye, and "Cemetery in the Right Eye," which was shot with a destroyed camera and created a unique world in which people wander between life and death. This work is a book composed of illustrations printed from a positive film that was divided into two and then reassembled and reassembled. From "destruction" to "creation." It is a book that is filled with Araki's current sense of photography and views on life and death. It was published in a limited edition of 500 copies on the occasion of an exhibition held at Rat Hole Gallery in 2014.
