"To Tenkuni" is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. Since the 1990s, Araki has been publishing diaries compiling his photographic journals under the titles "Shakyojin" (Photography Maniac) and, since 2000, "Shakyorojin" (Photography Old Man), and this is the 18th installment in the Shakyorojin series published by Wise Publishing. The title is pronounced "Tenkuni," and it is said to have been named after the fact that the filming for NHK's Sunday Art Museum program included landscape shots from a car window at Aoyama Cemetery, snapshots in the Ginza pedestrian zone, and concluded at the tempura restaurant "Tenkuni" in Ginza 7-chome. In recent years, Araki has produced an exceptionally large number of works that evoke themes of "illness" and "death," so it is likely that he deliberately chose a composition and naming that reflects his "view of life and death." However, it is said that when people in the photography industry saw this title, they imagined that "Araki Nobuyoshi is finally going through a rough patch," and since the book's publication, he has been inundated with requests for solo exhibitions (according to an interview with him).
