"Hidden away in a box labelled Last Year’s Photographs, 38 pictures Nobuyoshi ARAKI took between 1975 and 1976 spent a quiet life, surfacing as a time capsule of the Japanese photographer’s early work.
The photos – mostly snapshots of people in streets and trains, in stark black-and-white – capture private moments in Tokyo’s public life with an unintruding, unassuming eye.
A beautiful look into the recent past of one of the world’s biggest megacities, and into the early career of one of its most talented photographers.
About the Limited Edition: The special, hardcover edition of ARAKI’s 'Last Year’s Photographs' is limited to 500 unsigned copies and comes in a case made after the original box the photos were stored in for over 40 years." (publisher's note, © Case, 2016)
