``(Signed & Illusted)'' is a photo book by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers, known as Araki. This book is a collection of works published in 1992 that attempts to photograph Junnosuke Yoshiyuki's novel ``Primary Color City''. In the photo book "Midori" published in 1982, he took photographs based on Kazuyo Higuchi's "Takekurabe", and there are traces of her in Hato no Machi (Tokyo), which is also the setting for this novel, which also features prostitutes. There was no such thing, so Araki went to Osaka to find the scene and filmed it. ``After losing my wife, I continued to photograph skyscapes and foregrounds in monochrome, and then I turned to color scenes.I really wanted color, and even primary colors,'' he says at the beginning, but after losing his wife, Yoko, he expressed his feelings. Araki turned his camera from a monochrome world that seemed to project the world to the colorful bustle of Osaka. The scenes of Osaka such as Shinsaibashi, Tsutenkaku, and the red streets, as well as the people he meets, are depicted in color, and the encounter with a certain woman (Married Woman K) has a novel-like atmosphere. This is a book that encapsulates a sentimental 3-night, 4-day trip that captures the energy and obsceneness of Osaka, which is different from Tokyo, which is synonymous with Araki.
