"Seoul to Rain (Signed & Illusted)," a photobook by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, can be considered a sequel to "Seoul Story," a collaboration with writer Kenji Nakagami in 1984. This book consists of snapshots taken during Araki's visits to Korea, from his first visit in 1982 to those in 1986, 1991, and 2000. While Nakagami captured the palpable atmosphere of Seoul in "Seoul Story," Araki captured the city through monochrome snapshots. In this book, despite the changes of nearly 20 years, the city remains unchanged, with its urbanization progressing, yet retaining a downtown charm with its bustling crowds and seedy streets, and the unchanging sight of children playing in the back alleys. There is a further sequel to this book; in the summer of 2004, Araki returned to Seoul with Nakagami's daughter, writer Nori Nakagami, and published "Seoul Again: 'Memories'." Seoul may hold a special place in Araki's heart because of the writer Kenji Nakagami, but the sheer volume of this book, spanning approximately 600 pages, feels like both a testament to the time he spent there and a deep remembrance of Nakagami. Includes a commemorative signature and illustration .
