This is a photobook by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. Influenced by his father, an amateur photographer, he began photography, and after joining Dentsu, he explored new photographic art using the company's equipment while shooting advertising photos. Since the 1970s, he has published works that are still talked about today, such as "Oh Japan" and "Sentimental Journey." His outstanding, sometimes provocative nudes and heartwarming snapshots have captivated photography fans around the world, and to date, Nobuyoshi Araki has published 400 photobooks. This book is a collection of works published in 1990, a reportage of Tokyo's nightlife districts that flourished in the 1980s, mainly in Shinjuku and Kabukicho. The sex industry, which was a world of so-called "professionals" such as pink salons, cabarets and soaplands, saw an influx of "amateurs" with the emergence of no-panties cafes, and since then, new styles of sex establishments with various ingenious ideas, such as "Lucky Hole," have been born. This new history of Japanese customs is presented through visuals by Nobuyoshi Araki and text by Akira Suei. Third printing. Dust jacket missing.
