ISBN: 9784901006880A photographic work by Nobuyoshi Araki documenting his return to Seoul, revisiting a city he had previously explored decades earlier. The book was created roughly twenty years after his earlier collaboration “Novel Seoul”, and reflects a return shaped by memory, time, and personal reflection.
The volume is composed of snapshot-style photographs taken throughout the city, beginning with travel imagery and continuing through street scenes, neighborhoods, and everyday life. Araki captures areas such as older districts and alleyways, as well as scenes of urban change brought on by modernization, offering a contrast between past impressions and present reality.
The work is characteristic of Araki’s diaristic photographic style, blending personal memory with observation. It is described as a “sentimental journey”, with the city serving as both subject and backdrop for reflection on time, change, and lived experience.
The book also includes a literary component at the end—writing by novelist Nakae Nori (daughter of Araki’s earlier collaborator), adding an additional narrative layer that connects memory, family, and place.
