New, about 40$, from Japan. The American prices for Japanese books are crazy.

Anisha – Yes, I have seen Arakimentari. I think I rented it a while back from Netflix. There’s a nice slide show of the work from “Sentimental Journey” in the documentary.

Tom√� – I had meant to say that, in my eyes, it’s the most honest and poignant of all of his work. Much of what I’ve seen doesn’t strike me as being particularly moving, but he does have some other work that is noteworthy besides this series. Can you direct me/readers to some of his early “neorealist” work online? That’d be great. As for what I payed, I found a great deal on the book and spent less than half of what you generally see it for online (usually it’s priced anywhere between $140 and $200).

Saw Arakimentari too, not the most impartial piece of documentary but one can still draw his own conclusions.

When you say “unlike any other work by Araki” I’m not sure if you mean that this is the MOST honest and touching of all his very honest and touching works, or that this is the ONLY honest and touching work. If it’s the latest I couldn’t agree less… I’m thinking for instance of his very early “neorealist” inspired street work…

How much did the book cost you?

There’s a pretty great documentary about him (and his influence on contemporary Japanese culture) called Arakimentary.
