"When Nobuyoshi Araki chose the title "Kukei - skypscapes" for his first exhibition after the death of his wife six months earlier, he was referring partly to "heavenly landscapes".(Ku-Kei) - the central theme of the works on show; but at the same time the title also evokes the idea of an "empty landscape (in Japanese 'ku' also means a hollow, a void, an expanse, something that has neither foundation nor substance, in other words, nothingness). Moreover Araki's "kukei" alos sounds and looks exactly like the word "kukei" which means "empty marriagened".

"Lorsque Nobuyoshi Araki a choisi le titre "Kukei - skypscapes" pour sa première exposition après la mort de sa femme six mois plus tôt, il faisait en partie référence aux "paysages célestes". (Ku-Kei) - le thème central des œuvres du livre évoque également l'idée d'un "paysage vide (en japonais 'ku' signifie aussi un creux, un vide, ou une étendue, quelque chose qui n'a ni fondement ni substance, autrement dit, le néant). De plus, le "kukei" d'Araki sonne et ressemble exactement au mot "kukei" qui signifie "vide du lit conjugal".
