"Higan (Signed)" is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. In the 1960s, he started with "Satchin," which won the Taiyo Prize; in the 1970s, he met his beloved wife Yoko and was represented by "Sentimental Journey," which could be said to be the beginning of "Araki's Personal Photography"; in the 1980s, he teamed up with the famous editor Akira Suei to create radical depictions and the height of "eros," and even demonstrated his talent in video expression; and in the 1990s, following Yoko's death, he began to depict more sentimental feelings through still lifes and landscapes. Nobuyoshi Araki has continued to explore various styles to suit his own feelings and the mood of the times. Since 2000, he has released a collection of works like a "diary" every year, and since 2010, he has continued his creative activities despite suffering from vision in his right eye, and exhibitions and photo books have not stopped being published. This book is composed of photographs that Araki took with a telephoto lens from his car while suffering from prostate cancer. The photographs are a reflection of Araki's feelings of loneliness, loss, and views on life and death as he faced sad realities such as the death of his beloved cat Chiro and the Great East Japan Earthquake.
