Portraits of writer and Buddhist nun Jakuchō Setouchi and novelist Akiyuki Nosaka appear among still lifes of flowers and dolls. Published in 2015, the year Nobuyoshi Araki turned 75, Monochrome Paradise brings together 75 black-and-white photographs printed in duotone. The sequence moves from flowers and dolls emerging from shadow to brightly lit arrangements against white backgrounds. The faces that appear along the way give the book its rhythm, by turns playful and melancholy. Designed by Isao Mitobe.
