ARAKI: TOKYO LUCKY HOLE - IMPORTADO

This collection offers a privileged view of Tokyo´s underworld by Japan´s greatest photographer, Nobuyoshi Araki. Between 1983 and 1985, when Tokyo´s sex industry was in full flower, Araki prowled Shinjuku, Tokyo´s famous red light district, taking pictures in the sex shops and clubs. His project came to an abrupt end when the district was closed by judicial decree in 1985. Araki´s photographs form a historical record of Shinjuku´s glory days and a portrait of a lesser-known side of Tokyo life.
