Reviews
"This book offers an opportunity to witness the evolution of Araki's work as understood by the artist himself."
THE Magazine
"...An unflinching leer into urban Japan's unique sexual underworld."
Nerve
"He possesses the almost magical ability to transform the most mundane details into objects of fascination, to impregnate them with a raw sexual energy.... This mischievous photographer provokes viewers with images of the female form that are often oddly sensuous and objective at the same time, both erotica and cerebral. Ultimately, Araki presents us with a puzzle: the naked human psyche itself."
The Japan Times
"Chronicles in black-and-white and color the whims of the enfant terrible of the Japanese art scene, and the changes in Japan as well. ...unrepentant and upbeat"
