After the War (Shūsen-go) is a photo book features black-and-white photographs taken between August 16 and September 3, 1973, capturing the evolving urban landscape of Tokyo during Japan’s post-war period. Araki’s lens juxtaposes modernized cityscapes with remnants of traditional downtown areas, reflecting the tension between rapid urbanization and cultural nostalgia.
The images are presented in a bold layout, resembling contact sheets, which adds to the raw and immediate feel of the work.
