This is the complete four-volume set of "Daido Moriyama Complete Works" by Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama (1938-). Moriyama is a leading photographer of postwar Japan, known for his grainy monochrome images and bold blur, which sharply capture the anonymity of cities and the lives of people. The style he established in the 1960s and 70s with works such as "Nippon Gekijo Shashincho" and "Shashin yo Sayonara" fundamentally shook the very foundations of photography and had a strong impact both domestically and internationally. Published around 2003, this book comprehensively covers his activities from his early career to the 1990s, and its structure allows for a comprehensive overview of the evolution of his style by organizing his representative works chronologically. Each volume contains a wide range of works, from snapshots to experimental pieces, and the inclusion of contemporary criticism and materials allows for a more three-dimensional understanding of Moriyama's expression. Even 20 years after its publication, it remains a definitive archive for grasping the full scope of Moriyama's work and is an essential set for researchers and enthusiasts.
