Tokyo Story (Tokyo monogatari) is a sequence of 120 black-and-white photographs arranged through the rhythm of the seasons. Shot over the final years before publication, the book reflects Araki’s deep, lifelong attachment to the city where he was born and raised. Conceived over more than a decade, it openly echoes Yasujirō Ozu’s Tokyo Story — a photographic love letter to Tokyo as memory, narrative, and lived experience.
