A deeply intimate and elegiac photobook, Winter Journey by Nobuyoshi Araki stands as one of the most personal works in his oeuvre—a memorial to his wife, Yoko, following her passing in 1990.
Published in 1991 by Shincho-sha, this first edition, first printing extends the narrative of Sentimental Journey, beginning with earlier images before moving into a profoundly private sequence of photographs taken during Yoko’s hospitalization and funeral. Accompanied by Araki’s restrained and wistful commentary, the book unfolds as both visual diary and act of mourning.
The images are marked by a quiet immediacy, eschewing spectacle in favor of tenderness and presence. Through his lens, moments of loss are rendered with clarity and emotional precision, transforming personal grief into a shared human experience.
The sequence concludes with a photograph of the couple’s cat, Chiro, walking through the snow—a subtle yet powerful gesture that suggests continuity, resilience, and the passage of time.
Presented in a hardcover edition with slipcase, the publication reinforces its role as both commemorative object and deeply personal artifact. Winter Journey remains a cornerstone within Araki’s body of work and a significant contribution to the language of autobiographical photography.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
