A photo book "Hana-Jinsei (Signed & Illusted & Leaflet)" 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 in 1990 his wife, Yoko, died of illness. In addition, he devoted himself to shooting flowers and released series such as "Color Scenery", "Hanakyoku" and "Colorful Flowers". It gives off fresh and vibrant colors, and even when it is decaying, it is projected in various ways, such as taking a close-up shot or setting it in a vase. It is a compilation of Araki's flower photographs, such as those that make you feel the tranquility of a still life, those that are depicted as sensual and lewd figures that are typical of Araki, and those that are colored with paint on the petals. Also includes a painting "Flower Painting" as a new work. Includes signature, illustration, and leaflet .
