In the past, Chinese poetry, usually written with brushes, has non-separable bond with Chinese paintings. Calligraphy is an art form by itself still respected and practised today. There are three prints in the GOOD Edition that bear witness to this point. They are by the world known Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. Obviously Araki is a lover of calligraphy, and his hand-writings appearing in these prints are pure work of art. Though they are only hand-written acknowledgements of his monographs as gifts to another photographer, they are stylish and high-spirited just like Araki himself. These are great drawings rooted from calligraphy, a tradition slipped through his fingers when he is not pressing the shutters of his cameras.

In this particular edition, Araki acknowledged his monograph L' amant d'aout as gift to Lee Ka-sing. On the right is the name Mr. Lee Ka-sing. In the centre is Araki's self-portrait (with a red heart) and his lover's name Komari. On the left is his name Araki Nobuyoshi.
