About This Book

"Tokyo Comedy" is one of Nobuyoshi Araki's most playful and provocative photobooks, published by Korinsha in 1997.
This book captures the chaotic, erotic, and deeply humorous side of Tokyo. It visually blends candid street photography, surreal erotic scenes, and the intimacy of personal diaries.

The works in this book explore themes of life, death, and sexuality against the backdrop of late 20th-century Japanese urban culture, weaving together Araki's signature voyeurism, emotional depth, and absurdist humor.

This first edition is a highly sought-after collector's item among fans of contemporary Japanese photography and art books, especially those dedicated to Araki's distinctive narrative style.
