Daido Moriyama (1938-) made a splash in the Japanese photography world as a member of the group "PROVOKE" in the late 1960s, capturing street corners in Shinjuku and other areas in monochrome snapshots. Born in Osaka in 1938, he began working at a commercial design company while still in high school. He then went independent as a graphic designer, but began pursuing photography in the early 1960s. After moving to Tokyo, he served as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe before going independent as a photographer in 1964. This book, "Daido Moriyama 1965-," was published in conjunction with an exhibition of Moriyama's work at Gallery 916, run by fellow internationally acclaimed photographer Yoshihiko Ueda. Edited by Ueda himself, it features 106 works spanning Moriyama's work from 1964, when he first went independent, to the present day. The blend of monochrome and color captures Ueda's undeniable sense as an editor. Akaaka Art Publishing has also published photo books by Arita Taiji and Miyoshi Kozo, edited by Ueda and art directed by Nakajima Hideki.
