"My Beloved Ciro" is a photo collection by leading Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. This book features Ciro, the beloved cat of Araki and his wife, Yoko. Ciro, whom Araki described as "my lover and my life," arrived in Araki's home in March 1988 at the age of four months. Araki initially disliked cats, but soon changed his mind, saying, "A immediately gave me Ciro's trichomoniasis" and "Oh, she's just too cute." Ciro behaves freely on balconies, on neighboring rooftops, in Yoko's arms, and on Araki's sleeping belly—Araki captures his images as he adores them. Texts are interspersed throughout the book, directly conveying Araki's feelings for Ciro. While many of the photographs were taken in 1989, during which Yoko was hospitalized with uterine fibroids and absent (and passed away in 1990), Ciro seems to have served as a subject for Araki's sentimental reflections. Yoko was so excited about this publication that it was placed next to her in her coffin. This is the first edition and first printing. It also comes with a signed postcard with a message from the photographer .
