Light & Shadow - Daido Moriyama - Signed 1st Edition, Kodansha, 2009

About the Item

Signed First Edition, published by Kodansha, Japan, 2009. Signed by Daido Moriyama at the title page, this small ‘bunko’ format photobook, with its original Obi strip, is a beautiful republication in a new form of Moriyama’s sought after 1982 book of the same title, ’Hikari to Kage’ or ‘Light and Shadow’. Inside is a continuous flow of full-page black and white photographic reproductions in Moriyama’s immediately recognisable, atmospheric style. The original book marked a return to photography for Moriyama after almost stopping altogether, and an evolution in his approach. A classic and influential photobook in a fantastic format. Softcover in publisher’s dust jacket and original Obi strip, continuous black and white photographic illustrations 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...
