A photo book "Ai no Hana (Signed)" by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. This book is a collection of photographs published at the time of the solo exhibition held at the Rat Hall Gallery in 2007, 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. This time, I'm focusing on monochrome works, but it can be said to be the culmination of Araki's flower photographs, such as those that make you feel the tranquility of a still life, and those that depict Araki's sensual and lewd appearance. is. Limited to 350 copies. Autographed by a photographer .
