20 pages

Year: 1987

Price: € 250

One of Araki's more difficult to find titles, with photos by Nobuyoshi Araki and text by his late wife Yoko. 

Following A Night of Nostalgia published in 1984, this is the second collaboration series designed by Akira Suei, who was the editor-in-chief of the magazine "PHOTO AGE" published by Byakuya Shobo. From the early 1980s, Suei, who focused on Yoko's writing skills, began recording Yoko's movie reviews and essays at the end of the era of photography. Even in this book, the unrealistic world of "movies" and "dreams" and the real world of "Nobuyoshi Araki" and "Yoko Araki" intersect. The words and feelings of Yoko are wonderfully reflected in the urban landscape photographed by Nobuyoshi Araki.

Softcover, 36,4 x 25,7 cm, b&w photographs. First edition. In very good condition, other than light folding marks on the front and back cover and around the spine.
