DAIDO MORIYAMA SHASHIN JIDAI 1981-1988 by Daido Moriyama.

About the productJapanese

An important photo collection for tracing the historical sites of Daido Moriyama

A collection of works by photographer Daido Moriyama.
The artist had been in a "major slump" since the early 1970s. Turning to drugs, he hit rock bottom both physically and mentally. In the 1980s, he picked up "a dusty camera" and finally began to make a comeback. It was at this time that he was interviewed by editor Hasegawa Akira for the inaugural issue of "Shashin Jidai."

The four works from "Light and Shadow" published along with this interview marked the start of his new career as a photographer, and he contributed essays and photographs to every issue (except for issue 1) of "Shashin Jidai" up until issue 63, when it ceased publication in April 1988. This book is an excerpt of the essays that were published in the serialization, with English translations, and was produced with the aim of conveying the thoughts the author put into his works and the appearance of them at the time to collectors and art professionals outside Japan.
This is sure to be an important photo book in tracing the historical legacy of Daido Moriyama, one of the greatest photographers of this century.

The book includes an essay by the artist himself, as well as a contribution by photography critic Iizawa Kotaro.
