"Breasts, Flowers (Signed)" is a collaborative work by leading Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki and poet Minori Miyata. Poet Minori Miyata, who passed away at the young age of 34 (she was 35 at the time of her death), was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002 and underwent a total mastectomy of her left breast the following year. She subsequently sent a letter and poems to Araki requesting that he photograph her nude. The photographs were taken in 2004 and this book was published, but the cancer had already spread throughout her body, and she passed away in 2005. The book features Miyata's nudes and a collection of her poems, and in the afterword, she writes: "(Omitted) I wanted to show the world that even without a breast, I am still a woman. In other words, I wanted to encourage women who have similarly lost a breast to breast cancer. (Omitted) I consider the scars, pain, and sadness of my breasts to be my pride." Signed by the photographer .
