SIGNED BY ARAKI

NOBUYOSHI ARAKI: Japan Journey, signed first editionARAKI, NOBUYOSHI.  Japan Journey

"Araki is a superstar in Japan. You realize this if you chart his wake through the streets of Shinjuku--young girls screeching, yakuza gangsters pointing, salary men stopping dead in their tracks. No photographer in the West has this kind of public visibility. The people of Tokyo love Araki--he's one of their own, a homeboy, and he loves them back: his work has been one long poem to his city of birth and of choice." -Nan Goldin

FIRST EDITION, SIGNED BY ARAKI. Illustrated throughout with reproductions of Araki's photographs. Tokyo: Asahi Sonorama, 1976. Small quarto, photo-pictorial wrappers. A fine copy. $950.
