Maximum order of 3 per person.
In composing this series, Bokuju Kitan / Marvellous Tales of Black Ink, Araki selected 88 images from his 30 years worth of Kinbaku work and hand-painted calligraphy on each photograph. In these unique, oversized gelatin silver prints, we witness Araki's imagination running undeterred, playing with the varied, lyrical meanings Japanese characters allow whilst seamlessly involving his dark sense of humour.
