Nobuyoshi Araki (1940-) is one of Japan's leading photographers and continues to receive tremendous support worldwide, with the exhibition ``Nobuyoshi Araki Sentimental Journey 1971-2017-'' held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography still fresh in our minds. This book, ``Personal Diary,'' is a self-published book from ``AaT Room,'' which I founded in 1988 with Shiro Tamiya and Nobuhiko Anzai. As the beginning of the book says, "For Robert Frank," the year it was published in 1994 was also the year that Robert Frank came to Japan to judge the "New Cosmos of Photography," and Araki also served as a judge. There is a date on the cover, ``'93 12 31,'' but the book begins with a photo taken on July 27, 1992, and ends with a photo dated December 25, 1993, showing Araki's black-and-white pictures over a period of about a year and a half.・This is a collection of snaps (some shots include Araki). The snapshots, which are arranged in chronological order such as nudes, still lifes, landscapes, and his beloved cat Chiro, literally become a "diary" and are a book that allows you to relive Araki's ever-changing perspective.
