Published to accompany Nobuyoshi Araki’s exhibition at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, this profoundly poignant collection of photographs focuses on a single theme from his vast œuvre: his wife Yoko. From their first encounter in 1968 until her premature death from ovarian cancer in 1990, Yoko was his most important subject and muse. The book explores Araki’s relationship with the woman he most treasured, starting with their honeymoon, and continuing with numerous photos in which she is the subject, then revealing her presence in her absence after her passing.
