Sentimental Journey - Okinawa [Signed + Film + Note]

Nobuyoshi Araki

Published by Self-published, 1971

About this Item

Copy of Araki's second self published book, Sentimental Journey - Okinawa. This copy signed and includes drawing of multi-trunked elephant, which Araki signed with in the 1970s. Could it possibly have any sort of phallic symbolism? I will leave that to the purchaser to ponder. In addition, this copy includes a printed advertising sheet listing works by Araki's group at the time, the Fukusha Shudan Geribara 5, to which Araki has taped an actual frame from his film; he also has handwritten on the obverse of the sheet in Japanese the message: "Tokyo will be released on October 15 - Look forward to it. - Nobu" As Araki's next self-published work, Tokyo, was released in 1973, that is likely the year in which this book was signed and sent to the purchaser. All in all a unique set in pristine condition; like a time capsule from 1973.
