Shishosetsu (I-Novel) is one of Nobuyoshi Araki’s most intimate works, created with Izumi Suzuki (1949–1986). Novelist, nude model and pink actress, Suzuki left a lasting mark on Japan’s underground scene before her tragic suicide in 1986.
The book pairs her words with Araki’s photographs: a confession in a hauntingly personal collaboration.
A rare and poignant photo book, uniting two cult figures of Japanese culture.
