A photo book "Hana-Jinsei (Signed & Illusted)" by Nobuyoshi Araki, a leading Japanese photographer. This book is a collection of photographs published in conjunction with exhibitions held at the Kyoto Museum of Contemporary Art and the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, with the theme of "flowers" that Araki has been photographing for many years. Araki began photographing flowers in the early 1970s, when he took pictures of withered flowers in the tomb of Jokanji Temple in Minowa, where his family lived. In 2003, he devoted himself to photographing flowers, and released series such as "Coloring Scenery", "Hanakyoku" and "Shikijo Hana". Fresh, vivid colors, and even decayed things are captured in various ways, such as close-up shots and shots set in vases. It can be said that it is a compilation of Araki's flower photography, which is lascivious about flowers, such as those that make you feel the tranquility of a still life, those that depict Araki's sensual and obscene appearance, and those that color the petals with paint. A new painting work "Flower painting" is also included. Signed and illustrated .
