"Kindness Is Not Love" is a collaboration between Nobuyoshi Araki, a leading Japanese photographer, and Shuntaro Tanikawa, another leading Japanese poet. Araki and Tanikawa have released an outstanding number of works to date. Speaking of their joint work, "The Sky in the Photograph" published in 2006 is famous, but this work was published 10 years earlier. Tanikawa adds poems to landscapes, portraits, and nudes photographed by Araki, and Tanikawa's poems seem to speak for the female models. However, the voices also seem to question the true nature of Araki as a photographer, which is interesting. The following is an excerpt: "You only had kindness, but kindness is not love, kindness is lukewarm, I have become soggy. I wish you had hit me, I wish you had been angry, I wish you had killed me. You only praised me, with those cold eyes behind those glasses, with the endless, fruitless kindness of a man's desire." A poetic book that combines the work of a photographer, a poet, and a model.
