Jennifer Livingston - Artist Post 7

Araki Chiro




1) Araki Chiro is a Japanese photographer that has taken many photos of his cat, Chiro. All of his photos are in black and white.

2) Araki has even made a book called Sentimental Journey. It narrates the life of Araki, Yoko, and Chiro; following them from honeymoon, to Yoko’s death from cancer, and eventually to Chiro’s death ten years after Yoko.


3) I enjoy his black and white photos. At first I didn’t know that Chiro was Japan’s most famous cat because of his book Sentimental Journey. It’s interesting that a book of photos which narrate a family’s life can have such an impact on the society around it.
