Arakigraf: The Phantom Radical Magazine is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. Araki's many parodies and sexually charged names and texts are unique, and his talent, which is not limited to photography, is the reason why Akira Suei described him as ‘Nobuyoshi Araki is a medium’. This is also a magazine-style collection of Araki's photographs, reminiscent of Asahi Graph, and consists of 12 chapters.
