"Okinawa Passion (With OBI)" is a photo collection by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. Influenced by his father, a clog craftsman and amateur photographer, he began photography, and after graduating from the Department of Photographic Printing Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University, he joined Dentsu. While taking advertising photos while enrolled, he also used the company's equipment to explore new photographic art. Since the 1970s, he has released sensational works that are still talked about today, such as "Oh Japan" and "Sentimental Journey," and his outstanding, sometimes radical nudes and warm-hearted snaps have captivated photography fans around the world. This book is a collection of works published in 1995, and is named "Love Labrinth," followed by "Kyoto White Passion" published the following year in 1996. It is stated that this is his first visit to Okinawa in over 20 years, so it may have been since he came to shoot for "Sentimental Journey Okinawa 2" published in 1971, but it is composed of photos from Okinawa that he visited twice in October and November 1993. While wandering the streets and alleys, he took snapshots and photographed the women and couples he met. The book is also elaborately bound, with the paper used only for the photograph of Noe, the woman Araki had a crush on. Comes with a dust jacket.
