is a Japanese photographer and contemporary artist. He is also known by the nickname . ==Life and career== Araki was born in Tokyo, studied photography during his college years and then went to work at the advertising agency Dentsu, where he met his future wife, the essayist Yōko Araki (). Having published over 350 books by 2005,〔The number depends on such things as how new compilations of previously published are counted. But Kōtarō Iizawa counted 357 in ''Araki-bon! 1970–2005'' () / ''A Book of Araki Books! 1970–2005'' (Tokyo: Bijutsu Shuppansha, 2006; ISBN 4-568-12071-3). (Despite the alternative title in English, the book is only in Japanese.)〕 and still more every year, Araki is considered one of the most prolific artists alive or dead in Japan and around the world. Many of his photographs are erotic; some have been called pornographic. Among his photography books are ''Sentimental Journey'' (1971, but later reissued), and ''Tokyo Lucky Hole'' (1985). ''Sentimental journey'' "1972-1992" is a diary of life with his wife Aoki Yoko until she died of ovarian cancer in 1990. The first part of ''Sentimental journey'' sees the couple embarking on married life – their honeymoon and having sex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://invisiblephotographer.asia/2012/07/25/interview-with-nobuyoshi-araki/ )〕 Pictures taken during her last days were published in ''Winter Journey.'' He contributed photography to the Sunrise anime series ''Brain Powerd''. In 1981, Araki directed , a ''Roman Porno'' film for Nikkatsu studio. The film proved to be a disappointment both to Araki's fans, and to fans of the ''pink film'' genre. The Icelandic musician Björk is an admirer of Araki's work, and served as one of his models. At her request he photographed the cover and inner sleeve pages of her 1997 remix album, ''Telegram.'' More recently, he has photographed pop singer Lady Gaga. Araki's life and work were the subject of Travis Klose's 2005 documentary film ''Arakimentari''. Commissioned by Italian luxury label Bottega Veneta, Araki photographed Saskia de Brauw and Sung Jin Park in Tokyo for the brand’s spring/summer 2015 campaign.〔Alessandra Turra (December 30, 2014), (Nobuyoshi Araki Lenses Bottega Veneta Campaign ) ''Women's Wear Daily''.〕 In 2014, the Italian philosopher Mario Perniola wrote the essay ''Araki's Hell'', included in the volume ''Photography for the Afterlife''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nobuyoshi Araki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
