"Last August: A Diary of a Photo-Mad Old Man" is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of the most iconic photographers of the 20th century. "Quantity creates quality." While this is a common refrain in the worlds of sports and business, Daido Moriyama also spoke similarly in his own work, and this is evident in the photobooks and exhibitions that Araki has published to date. There's no doubt that this overwhelming "quantity" is what creates the multifaceted appeal of the photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. Since the 1990s, he has published a series titled "Photo-Mad Man," and more recently "Photo-Mad Old Man," in which he presents a diary-like collection of photographs taken that year. This is the 19th installment in the series, published in 2018. The story, deliberately told in black and white, evokes the words of Yoko: "Living is a sentimental journey, and for him, continuing to take photographs is also a sentimental journey" (Yoko Araki, "Aijo Tabi" [Love Travel], Magazine House, 1989).
