"The first time I took flowers in earnest was the Joruri Temple of Minowa, where I was born and raised in the early 70's. There are a lot of flowers in the middle of the night, one, I waited for two weeks and took a dead note, "I stood a white board in front of various tombs, made a white background, and took a dead cluster flower. I had a conceptual" thing "in it, now Araki says at the end of the book, "This book is one of the photographs of flowers by Araki. Taken from the 80's to 90's, it is selected from a collection of photographs published in the past and a series published. The eroticism contained in the flower is extracted from its "life" and "death", and while giving some renditions such as used vases, it brings out its appeal and sensuality. It is different from the Irving Penn's masterpiece "Flowers", and it shows the appearance of flowers unique to Araki.
