"Northern 3: Heimat of Light and Shadow" is a photobook by Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's leading photographers. This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Hokkaido Prologue" held at the Miyanomori Museum of Art Sapporo and other locations in Hokkaido in 2009, and "Hokkaido Chapter 2/Expansion" held in 2010, followed by the final exhibition "Hokkaido Final Chapter" in 2011. Moriyama stayed in Hokkaido for three months in 1978, and apart from contributing some of the photos to camera magazines, he left the large number of negatives he took sleeping in cardboard boxes for nearly 30 years without printing them. Exhibitions began in Hokkaido in June 2009, and continued in Hokkaido until 2011 ("Prologue", "Chapter 2/Expansion", and "Final Chapter"). Three books have been published in the "Northern" series, including this one, but this is the third and final issue. Up until the second issue, the series was composed of photos Moriyama had taken in the past, but this work was newly photographed in digital color with the aim of creating "new images". However, during the editing process, Moriyama suddenly decided to go for "monochrome", so the illustrations were printed in monochrome, even though they were photographed in color.
