Book Size 180 x 113 x 25 mm 288 pages Language Japanese & English Printing softcover Publication Date 2011 Publisher Kodansha Condition Excellent Plus!!! Another of Japanese publisher Kodansha’s reprints of classic Moriyama. This, Moriyama’s first work, published in 1968, emerged during a period of often radical experimentation occurring in all areas of the Japanese avant-garde. Moriyama joins forces with dramatist Terayama Shuji, with photos of Terayama’s theatrical productions, combined with other images of daily life in the fast lane. This Provoke era masterpiece makes metaphor of life as theater = spectacle, and theater as life, and signaled the beginning of a distinctly Japanese photographic style. Brief texts by Terayama in Japanese. ("Japan a Photo Theater" appears nowhere on the book but seems to be an attempt to translate the Japanese title.) A seminal piece and an important addition to any serious photobook collector. Artist Bio Daidō Moriyama is a Japanese photographer, born in 1938 in Osaka. Firstly, he studied photography before moving to Tokyo in 1961. To begin with, he worked as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe, a Japanese photographer and filmmaker. As a result, he began to produce his own collection of photographs. Afterwards, he ended up depicting the forgotten areas and darker side of cities. Shortly after, Japan Photo-critics awarded him the New Artist Award. Hence, Moriyama’s images are now known for capturing the breakdown of Japanese tradition. His work captures life during and following the American occupation of Japan after World War II. In particular the effects of industrialisation and the consequential shift in urban life. His images focus on the areas left behind in a rapidly changing city. He received the Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement from the International Center of Photography in New York in 2004 as well as the Hasselblad Award in 2019. Sale as is, no return.
