Published in 2014 by MÖREL in a limited edition of 1000, the book presents a sequence of brush drawings that merge calligraphy, eroticism, and mourning into a haunted graphic language. Here, Araki abandons the camera for ink, using sumi to gesture toward his own mortality, loss, and obsession with the female form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"987\"\u003eThe drawings are immediate and fluid—women’s bodies collapse into brushstrokes, genitals dissolve into gesture, and black pools of ink seem to hover between orgasm and elegy. These are not illustrations or studies, but ritual marks: a mourning process on paper, rendered with Araki’s unmistakable emotional voltage. The artist’s wife Yoko had died decades earlier, and the specter of absence runs through each page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eAccompanied by a brief text from Simon Baker and published in London with support from Imitate Modern, the book feels like a quiet howl—elegant, confrontational, and deeply personal. In Darwin’s archive, this is a vital Araki object: post-photographic, ritualistic, and ink-black with feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1657\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003cbr data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1302\"\u003eTitle: Marvelous Tales of Black Ink\u003cbr data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1340\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Nobuyoshi Araki\u003cbr data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003eDate: 2014\u003cbr data-start=\"1385\" data-end=\"1388\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Softcover with dust jacket\u003cbr data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1475\"\u003eDimensions (cm): approx. 21 × 26\u003cbr data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1510\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1530\"\u003ePages: Not stated\u003cbr data-start=\"1547\" data-end=\"1550\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: MÖREL, London\u003cbr data-start=\"1583\" data-end=\"1586\"\u003eISBN: 978-1-907071-44-7\u003cbr data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003eEdition: 1000 copies\u003cbr data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1635\"\u003eCondition: Near fine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1660\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52566576955730,"sku":null,"price":190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_2_acb1470e-9e8b-4b35-a93c-29415a9d3515.jpg?v=1769430883","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/marvelous-tales-of-black-ink-by-nobuyoshi-araki-2014-edition-of-1000","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
