A photo book "Erotos (With Leaflet)" by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. In 1992, the year before the publication of this book, he was fined for publicly exhibiting obscene drawings at the photo exhibition "Shakyojin Nikki", but this book is about Eros and Thanatos. In addition, it expresses the graphic and grotesque sexuality (life) of the Araki style. Below is a commentary by Toshiharu Ito, an art critic and photography critic. "I think that Nobuyoshi Araki has entered a new phase with this 'Erotos'. Until now, Araki has mainly shot his own intimate feelings and photographed people and landscapes that accept him, but this 'Erotos' The parts of the human body, the details of the material, the close-ups of the plants, and the fragments of the place are photographed in the photographs. No, there are no subject eyes staring back at him, no landscapes that caress his memory, just a series of almost inorganic parts, fragments and details. be". Leaflet included.
