"A Night of Nostalgia" is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. It is one of Araki's representative works from the 1980s, a book that embodies the late-life love between Araki and his wife Yoko, and the renowned collaboration between Araki and Akira Suei. This book was published by Byakuya Shobo, the publisher of the popular magazine "Shashin Jidai" (Photo Era), which was transitioning from a bimonthly to a monthly publication, and was designed by Suei. The book is composed of events that took place at the couple's home that night after they watched Tarkovsky's film "Nostalgia" in Roppongi, and also includes a short story by Yoko Araki (who also had a serialized column in Shashin Jidai at the time). While it might seem like Araki's one-sided imposition of sexuality and the act of photography, according to Yoko's text, she didn't dislike this imposition at all, and rather liked it, and she also writes about her interest in being photographed. This is a wonderful book that not only depicts the rich and ordinary daily life of a married couple, but also features Yoko's meaningful text and a stylish book design by Suei.
