Araki's seminal series Erotos was first published back in 1993. This year, we have chosen 10 images from the series, printed the images with our platinum printing technology, and sewn them together into a Pillow Book.

 

The Pillow Book is covered with genuine leather and contains the artist's autograph, an edition number, as well as an original polaroid photographed by the artist.

 

The title Erotos is a term that Nobuyoshi Araki coined to express an image in which "Eros" and "Thanatos" harmoniously blend together. For these ambitiously provocative photographs, Araki used a macro lens and ring strobe flash to shoot his subjects at the closest possible range, which is probably, his ultimate interpretation of "still life".
