Decades’ worth of images have been distilled down to 568 pages of photographs in this ultimate retrospective collection of Nobuyoshi Araki's work, selected by the artist himself.
First published as a limited edition and now available as a standard TASCHEN edition, the curation delves deep into Araki's best-known imagery: Tokyo street scenes; faces and foods; colorful, sensual flowers; female genitalia; and the Japanese art of kinbaku, or bondage. As girls lay bound but defiant and glistening petals assume suggestive shapes, Araki plays constantly with patterns of subjugation and emancipation, death and desire and with the slippage between serene image and shock.
Describing his bondage photographs as ‘a collaboration between the subject and the photographer’, Araki seeks to come closer to his female subjects through photography, emphasizing the role of spoken conversation between himself and the model. In his native Japan, he has attained cult status for many women who feel liberated by his readiness to photograph the expression of their desire.

Nobuyoshi Araki est né à Tokyo en 1940. Son père lui a offert son premier appareil à l'âge précoce de douze ans et depuis Araki n'a jamais cessé de prendre des photos. Il a étudié la photo et le cinéma à l'Université Chiba avant de débuter dans la publicité. En 1970, il créé ses fameux Xeroxed Photo Albums, fascicules de photos imprimées sur Xerox en édition limitée qu'il envoie à des amis, à des critiques d'art, et à des personnes prises au hasard dans l'annuaire de Tokyo. Si, au fil des années, les clichés osés et décomplexés de sa vie privée ont provoqué scandale et censure (en particulier dans son Japon natal), cela n'a en rien bâillonné l'artiste ou affaibli son influence. À ce jour, Araki a publié plus de 400 livres sur son travail.
