Daido Moriyama's work has been widely featured overseas in recent years, as seen in exhibitions at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris and the Tate Modern in London. Moriyama continues to work energetically with the same stance in exhibitions and publishing photo books, and this book, "Hawaii," is a book from Getsuyosha, which has compiled a series of photos of various cities (Shinjuku, Osaka, New York, Buenos Aires, etc.). "I still don't know why Hawaii, or why I wanted to photograph Hawaii, even now that I've finished photographing. Perhaps somewhere in the subconscious flow of my consciousness there was a thread of memory that led me to the Hawaiian islands. I can't help but think that it was a place that was prepared for me" (from the publisher). Looking at Moriyama's snapshots of the city, I feel a sense of incongruity in the match with Hawaii (the image of a healthy tourist destination rich in nature), but he continues to cut out fragments of Hawaii with the same stray dog's sense of smell. This is a record of his five visits to Hawaii from 2004 to 2007. Signed by the photographer .
