Remarques & avis / ReviewNobuyoshi ARAKI plays once again with words and images, facetious parody — here hijacking of photo-novel by the genre of sentimental-romantic-erotic softcore movies — though urban and nude shots. Beautiful portraits. Uncommon, especially in such a fine condition and complete of the publisher's wraparound band (obi).

ARAKI Nobuyoshi joue une nouvelle fois avec mots et images, facétie et parodie — ici détournement du roman-photo par le genre filmique du soft-core sentimental-romantique-érotique — au travers de clichés citadins et nus. De très beaux portraits. Peu courant, en particulier en si bel état et complet du bandeau éditeur (obi).

Divers / Misc. — "Sequences of photos : Yoko at home, visitors, a prostitute, a literary award ceremony, and more." (IIZAWA Kohtaro, ARAKI's Illustrated Bibliography, in déjà-vu #4 : ARAKI Nobuyoshi (1991), p.79)
