Daido Moriyma's Stray Dog,
By A Customer
This review is from: Daido Moriyama (Hardcover)
As someone who saw Moriyama's fantastic show at the SF MOMA I had to buy this book. Great gritty black and white photos examining post WWII Japanese Culture. Includes a fairly extensive intro detailing his influences and his career.

Japan and Modernity Collide,
By Rimbaud "Very weird photographer" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Daido Moriyama (55) (Paperback)
Some of the finest modern photography from Japan has been produced by Daido Moriyama. Defying any categories (including the "modern" one I gave him above, Moriyama stretches the boundaries of photography and peers into the dark and blurry places that scare us. The book's comments on each photo are extremely worthwhile also, providing an insight into Daido's work that isn't found elsewhere.
