Photobook
This photobook takes its name and subject from the Japanese word for palm tree.
Daidō Moriyama is one of Japanese photography’s most active and iconic figures. Witness to the spectacular changes that transformed Japan in the second half of the 20th century, his photographs express a fascination with the cultural paradox of age-old traditions which persist within the country’s modern society. Providing a harsh, crude vision of city life and the chaos of everyday existence, his work occupies a unique space between the objective and the subjective, the illusory and the real.
Signed hardcover from a limited edition of 500, with text by Issay Kitagawa. 18.8 x 14.5 cm.
