The website rikitake.com serves as a comprehensive portfolio of Rikitake's work, featuring an astonishing array of 11,363 photographs. Each image is a testament to his skill in capturing the nuances of eroticism, from the subtleties of human expression to the boldness of intimate settings. The collection spans various themes and styles, from black and white portraits that exude a timeless elegance to vibrant, contemporary compositions that challenge traditional aesthetics.

Rikitake's career faced a major shift due to the implementation of Japan's Child Prostitution and Child Pornography Prevention Law on November 1, 1999. As a result, the vast majority of his early photobooks featuring underage models were banned and went out of print. In the years following, Rikitake has focused on producing and publishing nude works featuring adult women, though he continues to center his activities on models who retain a youthful appearance.
