Moments of waiting, joking, mourning, and moving through familiar corners sit side by side, giving a clear sense of how identity is shaped by place and by the people around you.

The book focuses on portraiture as a form of emotional confrontation, capturing faces that oscillate between absolute vulnerability and raw intensity through Araki’s distinctive lens. Through a curated selection of black and white imagery, the publication examines identity and unadorned humanity, establishing the technical and conceptual foundation for his approach to documenting existence. Rather than a simple collection of portraits, the work functions as a study of the gaze and the intimate connection between photographer and subject, reflecting a persistent obsession with stripping the image of pretense to reveal an underlying psychological truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: used (signs of wear due to age)\u003cbr\u003eJapanese\u003cbr\u003e192 pages\u003cbr\u003e22,5 x 15,5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58101337686361,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/1006\/5497\/files\/IMG_7086-Photoroom.png?v=1778850090"},{"product_id":"japanese-beauty-hiromix-1997","title":"Japanese Beauty Hiromix (1997)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eJapanese Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1997, is an influential photographic art book shot by the pioneering Japanese contemporary photographer Hiromix.
