Nobuyoshi Araki - False Reportage 偽ルポルタージュ - 1980

Nobuyoshi Araki – Pseudo Reportage (偽ルポルタージュ) – 1980
Published by Byakuya Shobo. First edition softcover photobook compiling Araki’s serialized photo‑essays originally created with editor Akira Suei for the magazine Weekend Super. The book presents a wide range of themes from late‑1970s Tokyo: public events, portraits, beach scenes, urban wanderings, and interior studies, combining documentary observation with Araki’s characteristic performative and diaristic approach.

A key early work that marks Araki’s transition toward hybrid reportage and the personal photographic style that would define his 1980s output.

The book is in very good condition with slight fading of the obi at the spine.
