Picked up a new book for reading on the train the other day: The Words of Nobuyoshi Araki
It’s small book comprised of 174 pages of quotes from Araki, placed in somewhat chronological order with each section prefaced by a short essay for context by the author of the book, Hiroyasu Yamauchi. While mostly text (and only in Japanese), the book also features some photographs as well. It’s 1/2 of a two-book set, with the companion to it (with a black/silver cover) being a collection of text and thoughts by (surprise!) Daido Moriyama.
Araki’s legendary command/use of the Japanese language comes across best in his native tounge, but I’d like to think that these books translated into English would do well abroad.
