| Nobuyoshi Araki |
| Nobuyoshi Araki (born May 25, 1940) is a Japanese photographer,
pornographer, and contemporary artist from Tokyo. He has been widely
accused by feminist groups of being a misogynist because of the content
of many of his photographs. |
| Araki studied photography during his college years and then went to
work at Dentsu (a Japanese advertising agency) where he also met his
wife Yoko. After they were married, Araki published a book of pictures
of his wife taken during their honeymoon titled Sentimental Journey. She
died in 1990 of cancer. Pictures taken during her last days were
published in a book titled Winter Journey. |
