Arākii is one of the most controversial, complex and interesting photographers of our time. It is unusual even for its native Japan, not to mention the Western world. The main stereotype that accompanies all of his work is pornography and scandalousness, but Araki is much deeper than superficial shockingness. Because of his creativity, the photographer constantly receives fines and even ends up in police custody.
