Daidō Moriyama’s third monograph may be seen as the ultimate expression of his early experimentation with the are-bure-boke aesthetics often identified with the Provoke movement. Created at a pivotal moment in Moriyama’s career, before a period of disillusionment and inertia, this photobook frequently lauded as one of the most important photobooks of the 20th century. For this book Moriyama reproduced many of his iconic photographs from early projects serialised in magazines, to chronicle his exploration of the limits of photography and expression.
First edition softcover with dust jacket, comprising 137 pages of full-bleed monochrome photogravure images. 18 x 23 cm.
