Tokyo Nude pairs Araki’s intimate nude portraits with stark images of 1980s Tokyo — a city caught between construction and chaos.
Edited by his longtime collaborator Akira Suei, it reflects both the frenzy of Japan’s bubble era and Araki’s personal grief following his wife Yoko’s illness.
The result is a haunting visual dialogue between flesh and cityscape.
