"Shashin Jidai 1981 - 1988" is a collection of works by Daido Moriyama, one of the most representative Japanese photographers of the 20th century. This is a compilation of the serials that Daido Moriyama ran in the magazine "Shashin Jidai," which dominated the 1980s. Photography Era is a unique magazine that was created by Akira Suei, an editor at Byakuya Shobo, as a "media-ized miscellany of Araki Nobuyoshi," and is a chaotic mix of eroticism and art with Araki as the main focus. At the same time, it has continuously featured not only Araki, but also other pure photographers such as Seiji Kurata and Keizo Kitajima, and Moriyama has been participating since the first issue. After "Goodbye Photography" in 1972, Moriyama fell into a slump and was unable to take any photos for days, but this chronological introduction shows his trajectory as he gradually regained his confidence and finally left behind masterpieces such as "Light and Shadow" and "Journey to Nakaji" in the middle of his career in the 1980s. This is a valuable record of his work from the early 1980s, when Kitajima described him as "just recovering," to the late 1980s, when he produced experimental works such as "Tiles" and "Tights." Limited to 2,500 copies.
