Issue 71 of 'Coyote' features a 56-page special on Daido Moriyama (1938-). For over half a century since the 1960s, Moriyama has walked the streets of Tokyo and other cities, leaving a significant mark on the history of world photography with his unique photographic expression known as "rough, blurry, out-of-focus." He received the Hasselblad International Photography Award in 2019. Even at over 80 years old, he remains an active photographer, going out into the city every day and continuing to take pictures. This issue is a permanent keepsake special that comprehensively documents what Moriyama saw and thought in Tokyo under a state of emergency in 2020, a year when the world was transformed by the coronavirus. It includes a photo story of his days in his room, "Confinement - A Microcosm in My Room," a newly written essay, a special dialogue with Mika Ninagawa, a long interview with Toshiki Arai, and five of his representative works arranged by Satoru Machiguchi, along with his own commentary. This book re-examines the unprecedented era of the pandemic not merely as a social phenomenon, but through the eyes of Daido Moriyama, who has consistently observed cities and people. It is also a valuable document that simultaneously records the atmosphere of the time and the photographer's thoughts.
