Tokyo Polytechnic University Shadai Gallery Daido Moriyama Archive 1960-1982

This massive publication consists of 930 photographs taken by Daido Moriyama in the first twenty years of his career. Starting with the oldest existing print from 1960 and ending around the publication of Moriyama’s photobook “Light and Shadow” in 1982, the book allows an unprecedented insight into the work – including many previously unpublished images – of one of Japan’s greatest photographers. In addition to the photographs, the book includes forewords by Daido Moriyama and Hiroaki Yoshino (president of the Tokyo Polytechnic University) as well as texts by designer Satoshi Machiguchi and publisher Yutaka Kambayashi, detailed information for each included image, and a chronologic overview of Moriyama’s career.
