Santa Fe is a Japanese nude photo book published in 1991. It was modelled by Rie Miyazawa, and photographed by Kishin Shinoyama. Taken at the peak of Miyazawa's career, it sold 1.5 million copies. Published with one image showing her pubic hair without any kind of mosaic, it stunned Japanese society because their authorities had just begun to admit such kinds of nude photographs. After Miyazawa and her Santa Fe, many Japanese celebrity women followed her.
Its title was named after Santa Fe, New Mexico, where her photos were taken. Santa Fe, New Mexico's historic state capital, is also known as a city of arts.
