Yoko Araki wrote about everyday life and her travels with an unadorned directness. This first collected edition brings together all her published writing, including essays and fiction previously uncollected in book form. It also includes 15 portraits of Yoko by her husband, photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, along with his afterword and a critical essay by Toshiyuki Horie. Through her own words, readers encounter the people and places that caught her attention.
