Instead of lovely female smiles, sad expressions, or landscapes, body parts, plants, fish, and water taps are photographed in bold close-ups with a material and powerful dynamism. At a photo exhibition held the year before this book was published, the contents were judged to be indecent and publicly displayed, and the following year, 1993, the gallery manager was arrested for selling the exhibition catalog of the Erotos exhibition held at the Parco Gallery in Shibuya, Tokyo, which was also considered indecent. The gallery manager was arrested for selling an exhibition catalogue that was also an obscene picture. The gallery manager was arrested. The environment surrounding Mr. Araki, who started out as a freelance photographer, must not have been lukewarm, but we are in awe that he continues to be active as a world-class photographer in Japan today. At the end of the book, there is a contribution in both English and Japanese by Toshiharu Ito, who has written an essay on Nobuyoshi Araki in "Iota of Life and Death.
