A photo book "Hana-Jinsei (Signed)" by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. This book is a collection of photographs published in conjunction with exhibitions held at the Kyoto Museum of Contemporary Art and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, with the theme of "flowers" that Araki has been taking for many years. Araki started taking flowers in the early 70's, and it seems that they were dying flowers in the grave of Jokanji Temple in Minowa, where his parents' house was, but after the death of his wife, Yoko, in 1990. In addition, he devoted himself to shooting flowers and released series such as "Color Scenery", "Flower Song" and "Colorful Flower". It gives off fresh, vibrant colors, and even decayed objects are projected in various ways, such as taking close-up shots or setting them in a vase. It can be said to be the culmination of Araki's flower photographs, such as those that make you feel the quietness of a still life, those that are depicted as Araki's sensual and lewd appearance, and those that are colored with paint on the petals. Also includes a painting work "Flower Painting" as a new work. Includes signature and illustration .
