"This book is a diary of an unusual relationship, and a fable of an erotic adventure. Although the photographer/artist is always Nobuyoshi Araki, and while the model and Muse a young woman called Kaori from Tokyo, the story is not as simple as that. There is no beginning to speak of, or is it your usual narrative, complete with a happy ending. Instead we are presented with a multifaceted series of portraits of Araki's harem of one." (Jonathan Turner). Beautifully illustrated with color and b/w photographs throughout. Fine condition. Item #49498
