Remarques & avis / ReviewNobuyoshi ARAKI and his love-hotel models talk — no picture except for the frontispiece, but funny drawings by the Japanese mangaka, illustrator and writer Kazuhiro WATANABE (1950-2007).

ARAKI Nobuyoshi et ses mannequins de "Love Hotel" parlent — aucune photo sinon celle du frontispice, mais d'amusants dessins par le mangaka, illustrateur et écrivain japonais WATANABE Kazuhiro (1950-2007).

Divers / Misc. — "A book without photos; instead, there are dialogues — both hilarious and plaintive — with his love hotel subjects." (IIZAWA Kohtaro, ARAKI's Illustrated Bibliography, in déjà-vu #4 : ARAKI Nobuyoshi (1991), p.80)
