Synopsis:

This is a collection of the Japanese erotic photographer Araki's life work: all the hundreds of colour and duotone photos included were personally selected by Araki himself. While his reputation is founded on his interest in the overtly sexual, this portfolio demonstrates how varied his work can be, comprising pictures of animate and inanimate objects, day life and night life, cityscape and landscape, and a sequence on his own wife as she lay dying.
