Sentimental Journey, Ten Years Later Nobuyoshi Araki

*Available only in Europe

*This book is secondhand.

A decade after Sentimental Journey (1971), the self-published honeymoon album with which Araki proclaimed his so-called "I-photography," he returned to his defining subject: his wife, Yoko, and the act of traveling together. First issued by Fuyukisha in 1982 and reissued by Chikuma Shobo in 1992, the book is credited jointly to Nobuyoshi and Yoko Araki and gathers snapshots from trips abroad around 1981 — Paris, Spain, Argentina — marking their tenth wedding anniversary. Where the 1971 work pulsed with newlywed intensity, this sequel carries the quieter texture of a marriage that has weathered time, its gaze more familiar and worn-in. Read alongside the earlier and later volumes, it reveals that Araki's private photography was never a one-off document but an ongoing diary, continuously renewed across a lifetime. It occupies the middle ground of the long chronicle of Yoko that would culminate, devastatingly, in Winter Journey. For anyone tracing how the personal snapshot became Araki's central artistic instrument, this is an essential link — travel, domestic life, and the beloved as recurring subject, thickened by ten years of shared time.
