ライカは、20世紀の報道写真やスナップ写真の在り方を変革したカメラ記憶を大胆に写し取り、日本独自のスナップ写真の地平を押し広げた作家です。として知られ、瞬間性と親密さを重視する写真文化を育んできました。荒木経惟もまた、その機動性と描写力を武器に、日常と性愛、都市と個人の

LOVE BY LEICA by Nobuyoshi Araki.

This work is a deluxe special edition produced in only 10 copies, each accompanied by one original photographic print hand-signed by Nobuyoshi Araki.
Although published in conjunction with the exhibition held in 2006 as the second opening project of RAT HOLE GALLERY, the book transcends the conventional format of a photobook, standing instead as a true collector’s piece—one in which the artist’s time, presence, and physicality are directly inscribed.

From the latter half of the 20th century to the present day, Nobuyoshi Araki has continued to exert a decisive influence on the history of Japanese photography.
LOVE BY LEICA is a special volume that distills Araki’s deeply personal and fundamental photographic expression—embracing “life,” “love,” and even the lingering presence of “death”—all captured through the Leica cameras he relied on for many years.

Leica is known as a camera that revolutionized the nature of photojournalism and snapshot photography in the 20th century, fostering a photographic culture centered on immediacy and intimacy. Araki, too, wielded its mobility and descriptive power to boldly photograph everyday life, sexuality, the city, and personal memory, thereby expanding the horizons of Japan’s unique snapshot tradition.
This work can thus be seen as a symbolic convergence of Leica’s photographic history and Araki’s own expressive trajectory.

To collect this book is not merely to own a publication, but to hold a singular intersection of photographic history and lived experience—an irreplaceable artifact that resists repetition and exists only in the present tense of the artist’s hand.
