A photo book by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers, ``Second Printing''. As mentioned at the end of the book, in 1992, the year before this work was published, Araki had eight positive films showing his genitals confiscated at the photo exhibition "Photo Madman's Diary" and was interrogated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Prosecutor's Office multiple times ( In Araki's words, he was subjected to an ``amour investigation'' (in Araki's words), and the display of obscene drawings was against the criminal law, and he ended up paying a fine of 300,000 yen. This book was published exactly one year later, and Araki commented, ``This photo book is much more obscene, but I don't think it will be confiscated.'' Indeed, the included illustrations consist of portraits of 30 women (not known from high school students) wearing sailor suits, and there is no nudity at all, just a glimpse of their underwear. However, Araki creates more eroticism than exposing genitals or nudity. Araki's eroticism is condensed in the situation and posing, as well as the sense of distance and gaze from the subject.
