Title: Obscenities: Nobuyoshi Araki (デジャ＝ヴュ 別冊 荒木経惟 猥褻写真) Photographer: Nobuyoshi Araki (荒木経惟) Publisher: Photo Planet (フォトプランネット), Tokyo Publication Year: 1994 (First Edition) Binding: Softcover with original dust jacket Pages: 40 pages Dimensions: Approx. 29.7 x 22.5 cm (A4 / Large Softcover Format) Language: Japanese (with English photo titles/essays) [Expert Commentary & Historical Context] A highly significant and scarce special extra issue (別冊) of the celebrated Japanese photography journal 'déjà-vu', dedicated entirely to Nobuyoshi Araki and published in 1994 by Photo Planet. This landmark volume was produced during the height of public and legal controversy surrounding Araki's work and Article 175 (Japan's obscenity law). 'Obscenities' presents a radical selection of Araki's intimate nudes, street photography, and provocative portraiture, directly confronting the boundaries between art, pornography, censorship, and personal freedom. Edited with critical essays and visual sequences that contextualize Araki's philosophy of 'Eros and Thanatos' (desire and mortality), this large-format 1994 publication is widely regarded as a key document in post-war Japanese photography history. Original copies in complete, well-preserved condition have become increasingly rare and are fiercely sought after by international museums and private art collectors.
