About The Work
Considered one of the most prolific Japanese artists of all time, photographer Nobuyoshi Araki creates work that is as nuanced as it is subversive, nostalgic as it is erogenous. Primarily known for his controversial, highly sexualized images of women, Araki has published over 450 photo books on subjects ranging from his birthplace of Tokyo, to his late wife (essayist Yōko Araki) on their honeymoon. This print finds Araki revisiting a familiar subject—his hooded female subject is suspended using Shibari, or traditional Japanese rope bondage.
