Daido Moriyama, Takuno 'Signed'

About the Item

Slipcased, signed first edition, published by Sokyu-Sha, 2005. Signed by Moriyama at front free endpaper. A beautifully designed visual record of Daido Moriyama’s 1987 visit to a small coastal village named Takuno, Japan. Featuring a series of black and white unpublished photographs, which include an elementary school, the port itself, a graveyard, his parent’s home and many more. All of which seem to capture the stillness of the port of Takuno. One of 1,500 copies.   “My underlying thought was to show how in the most common and everyday, in the world of the most normal people, in their most normal existence, there is something dramatic. This kind of chaotic everyday existence is what I think Japan is all about.” Daido Moriyama.   Hardback in publisher’s slipcase. Illustrated with black and white photographic plates throughout.

  • '71 - NY - Daido Moriyama – Signed 1st Edition, PPP, 2002
    By Daido Moriyama 1
    Located in London, GB
    First edition, limited to 3000 copies, published by PPP Editions, New York, 2002. Signed by Daido Moriyama at title page. “In 1971, Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama took a trip to New York City with Tadanori Yokoo. He stayed at the Chelsea Hotel and spent his days in The Museum of Modern Art Photography Study Center looking at pictures taken by Weegee. He shot 100 rolls of film with a half-frame camera, yielding 70 images per roll. Some of those pictures are presented here.” With hundreds of high quality black and white reproductions on heavy paper, and signed by Daido Moriyama at the title page, this classic photobook is immediately recognisable as Moriyama’s work, with his high-contrast, grainy and seemingly fleeting style. Including an interview with Moriyama, an essay by art writer and curator Neville Wakefield, and an appropriately chosen exact from James Baldwin’s Another Country, this is an involving record of Moriyama’s trip to a changing New York seen...
