'Tokyo Lucky Hole 1983-1985' by Nobuyoshi Araki

Tokyo Lucky Hole is one of Araki’s best-known and most controversial books that was re-edited and published in an expanded version by German publisher Taschen. This is the original Japanese version that is becoming harder to find in the first printing with the first state obi. It is one of Araki’s rare projects with sex workers and is an extensive study of the Japanese sex industry, with most kinds of sex stage acts featured.
