"Odasaku (Japanese Edition)" is a photobook by Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's leading and world-renowned photographers. Moriyama's signature style involves wandering through cities, continuously taking snapshots, and depicting the ominous atmosphere lurking within urban environments with extreme close-ups, fragmented frameworks, and high-contrast touches, resulting in works that are rough and stylish through grainy textures and shimmering finishes. His pursuit of unique photographic expression, his avant-garde and experimental yet deeply human style, is a symbol of post-war Japanese photography, which has received high praise worldwide. This book is a collaboration of "words" and "photographs" and "design" by book designer Satoru Machiguchi, consisting of "Keiba" (Horse Racing), a short story by the legendary novelist Sakunosuke Oda, affectionately known as "Oda-saku," who died at the age of 33, and illustrations of "Osaka" by Daido Moriyama. This is a wonderful book that beautifully captures the feelings of artists like Oda Sakunosuke, who can't seem to let go of his feelings for his wife, and Moriyama Daido, who seems to have let go of his feelings for Osaka, yet can't quite let go of them, through its book design. First edition. Japanese version.
