An exceptional selection of photographs from Record, Daido Moriyama’s self-curated journal, published in the early 1970s and from 2006 to the present day

Record is drawn from the first thirty issues of Daido Moriyama’s personal publication, dating back to its origins in the seventies. The magazine provided a diaristic platform for this extraordinary photographer. Beside the pictures taken on his familiar ground in Tokyo and Osaka, Moriyama photographed the streets of New York, Los Angeles, Florence, Paris and London as he would have recorded the lanes and alleys of his hometowns. Once regarded as the leading Japanese photographer of his generation, Moriyama has come to transcend such a description. He is an artist in constant motion and his subject matter is both stark and universal.

The direct sequel to a classic photobook: an exceptional selection of photographs from Daido Moriyama's seminal magazine publication from 2017 to today

The direct sequel to the classic Daido Moriyama – Record, this volume presents an exceptional selection of photographs from Daido Moriyama’s seminal magazine publication Record, from issues 31 to 50 and spanning 2017 to the present. Now in his 80s, and not the relentless traveller he once was, Moriyama is in a more contemplative and philosophical location in this compilation – one where he reviews his life and the work that, rightly, made him a leading Japanese artist of his generation. But, despite his advancing years, his work remains unmistakably of the Moriyama aesthetic – fiercely contrasted images with fragmentary, intensely composed frames that express the vision of one of the greatest photographers.
