Fake Love is the second photo book by Nobuyoshi Araki under the same title, following his 1994 work featuring Aki Kawasaki in a traditional ryokan setting. While the first book captured a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere, this 1996 edition takes a more contemporary approach, continuing Araki’s exploration of intimacy, beauty, and desire through a modern lens.
