[Japan Trilogy] Nobuyoshi Araki: Tokyo

Tokyo: Fukusha Shudan Geribara, 1973. Softcover. First Edition, one of 1000 copies. INSCRIBED in the year of publication from Nobuyoshi Araki to Nobuaki Sakamoto on the front endpaper. The third volume in Araki's, following "Sentimental Journey" (1971) and "Okinawa: Sentimental Journey: Continued" (1971).

A collection of photographs of women masturbating, each image presented just below a photograph of Tokyo crowds waiting for the traffic light to change at crosswalks. A worthy follow-up to Araki's 1971 breakthrough collection "Sentimental Journey."

Very Good plus in perfect-bound wrappers, in a custom cloth folding case with bone clasps in the Japanese style.
