A provocative and intimate survey of Nobuyoshi Araki’s multifaceted photographic universe, Tokyo Comedy presents the artist’s iconic portraits, nudes, fetish and bondage scenes, cityscapes, and the ever-present Araki lizard. Through over 200 black-and-white plates, Araki’s work captures the raw energy, sensuality, and contradictions of contemporary Tokyo life.

Featuring essays by Elfriede Jelinek, Toshihara Ito, and Christian Kravagna, this catalogue situates Araki’s images within the broader context of Japanese photography and global art discourse. Additional materials include a chronology, exhibition lists, and a bibliography.

Published in English and German, this volume is an essential reference for collectors and admirers of Araki’s bold vision, Japanese photography, and avant-garde contemporary art.
