{"product_id":"araki-nobuyoshi_tokyo-nude-1989","title":"TOKYO NUDE","description":"\u003cp\u003eNobuyoshi Araki's photobook, \"TOKYO NUDE,\" is a large-format collection published by Mother Brain in 1989. It juxtaposes images of female nudes with scenes of Tokyo's changing landscape, undergoing redevelopment during the bubble economy. Shot with an ASAHI PENTAX 6×7, each spread features one urban Tokyo landscape and one female nude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction sites, buildings mid-reconstruction, empty lots, and roads capture Tokyo as it transitioned from the Showa to the Heisei era. Alongside them, the naked bodies of women stand before the camera, mostly expressionless. The juxtaposition of urban landscapes and female nudes on each spread, and their repetition, creates the book's overall rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother characteristic of this book is its large format, approximately 395x300mm. Each photograph is arranged prominently, resulting in a high visual density when the pages are opened. By placing two distinct subjects, the city and the body, with the same size and rhythm, the book creates a back-and-forth between a changing Tokyo and static bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkira Suei, who collaborated with Araki on the magazine \"Shashin Jidai\" in the 1980s, was involved in the editing. Years later, in his book \"Photobook Kyo Araki,\" Suei cited this book as one of the most memorable works from his collaborations with Araki, noting that Araki learned of his wife Yoko's illness during its production. Yoko passed away the following year, in 1990, a period that also led to his later works, \"Sentimental Journey \/ Winter Journey.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBook design was by Hisane Ishihama, and printing by Toppan Printing.
