Nobuyoshi Araki - Oh Nippon (荒木経惟 おー日本), Miki Shuppan, 1971, Tokyo

 

Softcover.

„While Araki’s first commercially published work is stylistically similar to his earlier Xeroxed books, the eroticism here is more playful and non-threatening than his later bondage imagery. Araki constantly had problems with the censors and Oh Nippon! was no exception. Mikuo Nakamura developed a creative mise en page that split the rejected images into sections which could be easily reassembled by folding opposing pages together across multiple spreads.“
