"Journey to Photography (Thrid Edition)" by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. This book is a compilation of ``Nobuyoshi Araki's Practical Photography Class'', which was serialized in 12 parts over one year in the photo magazine ``Asahi Camera'' in 1970, and was published as the 13th volume of Gendai Camera Shinsho. While paying homage to Atge, Araki was invited as a teacher to conduct photography classes with local photography enthusiasts and high school students in Kurashiki, Shizuoka, Kobe, Sapporo, Yonago, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Sendai, and Tokyo. There is an episode where he took a photo shoot with Masahisa Fukase in Shinjuku, and the main text is Araki's text, but it also includes photos taken by Araki and Fukase, as well as photos of students that Araki evaluated. In the Yonago episode, there are two shots of Masaharu Ueda and Araki, and Araki often appears as a subject. In each episode, Araki's theory of photography, including people, women, and landscapes, is expanded upon, interspersed with reminiscences from various places. Even though it is written in a broken tone, Araki's thoughts on photography are scattered throughout the book: ``Photography is about copying the relationship between the other person and myself, and my reality'' (from the text). The first edition was in 1976, and this book is the third edition published in 1980.
