"Visions of Japan (English Edition)" is a photobook by Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. Araki has published over 400 photobooks from the 1960s to the present. Rather than formal "art," he is a "photographic artist" who has continued to explore new frontiers in art through photography, being "free," "unconventional," and sometimes "careless." His works, exemplified by nudes employing various techniques and candid snapshots full of human warmth, have been radical and at times have sparked various controversies, but this is precisely because Araki has continued to fight with art. This book is one of the "Visions of Japan" series by the now-defunct Korinsha Publishing, featuring prominent Japanese photographers, published in the late 1990s, and is composed of illustrations from "Shin Tenshi Matsuri" (New Angel Festival), which was published in the 1990s. It is an "erotic image" that weaves together unsettling and sensual nudes and portraits of women with still lifes of flowers. The preface is by the renowned art historian Toshiharu Ito. Art direction is by Kaoru Kasai. English version, pink cover.
