Tokyo ereji [Photo-theater: Tokyo Elegy].
This work was initially scheduled for publication in 1972 but wasn't realised. Araki edited the sequences himself, and many bear a resemblance to frames from a film with their use of sequential photographs. In her essay for the catalogue that accompanied For a New Language to Come, an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Rachel Hooper discusses how Araki studied filmmaking, so a visual language involving a progression of scenes came naturally to him. The most well-known sequence in Tokyo Elegy is the one which contains photographs of the funeral of Araki's father, Chotaro, who died in 1967.
First edition; (235 x 186 mm, 9ÂĽ x 7ÂĽ in); 29 colour and 1017 black-and-white photographs; double black endpapers, glossy black wrappers with flaps, printed in white and grey, illustrated dust-jacket, off-white, printed in black, grey and red; light wear and toning, publisher's black and white wraparound band; light wear.
