A rare behind-the-scenes diary chronicling Araki’s first experience as a film director — during the shooting of a Nikkatsu Roman Porno production.
Part photo-document, part confession, Fake Diary of a High School Girl follows Araki from the first day of prep to the final wrap.
The book combines Araki’s own writings with photographs by his assistants Nobuhiko Anzai and Kazuki Setoyama, as well as musician Ryudo Uzaki, who joined him on set.

An unfiltered portrait of the artist stepping from still photography into motion.
