Araki’s most influential book, one of the most important photobooks of the twentieth century. Araki made these intensely personal photographs on his honeymoon. Initially he had intended for Sentimental Journey to contain no text, but after printing and on the request of a bookseller he wrote an introduction in which he rejects the falseness and insincerity of fashion photography, and compares his own work to the popular post-war literary form of the ‘I’ novel.
