``Tokyo Nude (Acceptable)'' is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. This is a book edited by Akira Suei, who was a famous duo for the magazine ``Shashin Jidai'' in the 1980s, and Suei wrote about it in ``Photo Book Kyō Araki'' (2012) as a photo book that he particularly cherishes among his collaborations with Araki. I am mentioning this book. This is a book typical of Araki, which includes a two-page spread of a landscape depicting the untidy construction work caused by the bubble economy as a collapsing Tokyo, and a faceless female nude. Araki, who usually leaves all the editing to Suei, was initially enthusiastic about working on this book together, but when he started editing it, Araki said, ``Sweet. I'll leave it to you,'' in a lackluster manner. When I asked him about it, he learned that it was around this time that his wife, Yoko, was diagnosed with cancer. Suei writes that every time she looks at this photo book, the images of the crumbling city of Tokyo and the expressionless women seem to echo Araki's feelings, and she feels very sad. Missing obi.
