Tokyo Nude is Nobuyoshi Araki’s take on 1980s Tokyo: half-finished skyscrapers and chaotic streets paired with silent, intimate nudes. Edited by his Photo Age partner Akira Suei, the book’s edgy vibes not only capture Japan’s bubble-era madness but also Araki’s own heartbreak after his wife Yoko’s cancer diagnosis—giving every shot an extra punch of emotion.
