Daido Moriyama Record
森山大道 記録（Akio Nagasawa Edition)
£60.00 per item
A selection of photographs from Moriyama Daidō’s Record, first published in the 1970s and continued from 2006.
Moriyama Daidō’s privately published photographic journal Kiroku – Record was initiated in 1972 as part of his exploration of “a minimum media for immediately printing photos taken in everyday life and showing them by hand to those around him”.
This volume presents a digest edition of issues 1 to 30. Issues 1–5 were published in 1972 and 1973, while issues 6–30 were published from 2006 onwards. The book also includes a foreword by Mark Holborn and essays in Japanese by collaborators involved in the initial publication during the 1970s.
Moriyama Daidō was born in Osaka. After working as an assistant to photographer Hosoe Eikoh, he became independent in 1964 and remains active today. His work is characterised by high-contrast imagery and coarse-grained textures, often described by the phrase “are, bure, boke” (rough, blurred, out of focus).
He has held numerous solo exhibitions at major institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain. His honours include the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Chevalier) in 2018 and the Hasselblad Award in 2019.
Mark Holborn is an editor and designer of illustrated books, who has collaborated with numerous artists. He is also a curator, author, and specialist in Japanese culture.
