Remarques & avis / ReviewNobuyoshi ARAKI's magnificent monochrome TOKYO, of empty streets and interior nudes facing one another, in a very well-crafted, oversized volume of sober elegance. A sharp contrast with Kishin SHINOYAMA's great Tokyo Nude, complex, theatrical and colorful, where nude bodies are put in the streets of the Japanese capital — the other side of the same coin.

Un TOKYO magnifique et monochrome par ARAKI Nobuyoshi, de rues vides et de nus d'intérieurs face à face, dans un volume grand format très bien fini, d'une sobre élégance. Un contraste prononcé avec le superbe Tokyo Nude de SHINOYAMA Kishin, complexe, théâtral et coloré, où les corps nus sont mis dans les rues de la capitale japonaise — l'autre face de la même pièce.

Divers / Misc. — "Languid nude face people-less streets on opposing pages. A memory of a dead city seen from the side of life." (IIZAWA Kohtaro, ARAKI's Illustrated Bibliography, in déjà-vu #4 : ARAKI Nobuyoshi (1991), p.88)
