The 50th Akutagawa Prize-winning author Seiko Tanabe (1928-2019) and Nobuyoshi Araki co-authored "My Love & Sex (With OBI)." He has written a wide range of works, including novels, essays, classical translations, and literary criticism, such as "Sentiment Travel" (1964), "The Tale of Shingen" (1978), and "Hinakure Issa" (1993). Seiko Tanabe has been fascinating many fans. This book contains short stories with Araki, Tanabe, and the editorial staff throughout the book, with illustrations taken by Araki scattered throughout. Araki's unique coined words and comments rich in eroticism are taken lightly, and Tanabe's ability to talk with Araki softly while flowing sometimes is attractive. In addition, Eros, which is not too intense when the tag with Araki in the 1980s, that is, when Suegi began, also brings a good atmosphere to this book. At the time of this interview, Araki said, "I will never do a new edition for sentimental trips," but after more than 30 years, it has finally been reprinted.
