Product Description

Product Description
This collection offers a privileged view of Tokyo's underworld by Japan's greatest photographer, Nobuyoshi Araki. Between 1983 and 1985, when Tokyo's sex industry was in full flower, Araki prowled Shinjuku, Tokyo's famous red light district, taking pictures in the sex shops and clubs. His project came to an abrupt end when the district was closed by judicial decree in 1985. Araki's photographs form a historical record of Shinjuku's glory days and a portrait of a lesser-known side of Tokyo life.

2.0 out of 5 stars Low quality porn for the furtive fiddlers, 12 Sep 2006
I'm not sure I know what Araki is trying to do. Is he saying that the increasing Westernistion of Japan is bringing with it its own perversions and degrading the average Japanese person? Or is he saying that there has always been a seedy underground in Japan? Whatever he's up to, it doesn't look like art to me. Taking photographs of Japanese prostitutes in varying stages of undress (even one in the middle of an orgy, with Nobuyoshi himself checking things out) would seem an infantile and indulgent use of his time. It's not erotic - it has very definite pathos (perhaps his true purpose) and seems fairly cruel to some of his subjects. One to avoid, unless you enjoy the degradation of women for your own pleasure.
