A sprawling visual diary of Tokyo's intimate and melancholic undercurrents, this unique portfolio of sixty-six gelatin silver prints captures Nobuyoshi Araki's characteristically raw and tender gaze through the lens of a Leica camera. Shot in 2006, the work weaves together the erotic, the everyday, and the elegiac — blurring the boundaries between public and private, desire and loss. True to Araki's obsessive photographic practice, *Love by Leica* functions as both a confession and a love letter to the city and its human subjects.
