Nobuyoshi Araki - A Diary - 1995

A Diary – Nobuyoshi Araki Photobook

A highly collectible photobook by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of the most influential figures in contemporary Japanese photography.

Published by Libroport in 1995, *A Diary* presents a fictional photographic diary covering every day of an imagined year. Rather than documenting actual events, Araki created a visual narrative through dated photographs, transforming ordinary scenes, portraits, flowers, cityscapes, and intimate moments into a poetic exploration of everyday life. The book also includes an essay by renowned art critic Toshiharu Ito.

Unlike Araki's better-known erotic works, this volume emphasizes the rhythm of daily life and his unique storytelling through photography, making it one of his most distinctive and experimental publications.

An excellent addition to any collection focused on Nobuyoshi Araki, Japanese photography, contemporary art photography, or rare photobooks.
