"Savage" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer and editor Hachiro Hamada (1941-1996). While working as an editor for the magazine "Modern Eyes" in the 1960s, he met Takuma Nakahira (then an editor) and Daido Moriyama, and discovered a new outlet for photography. In the 1970s, he held the "Photographic Effect" exhibition with Miyako Ishiuchi, Taku Yada, Tatsuko Kanbayashi, and Hiroshi Yamazaki. He subsequently held solo exhibitions. A memorial photo exhibition for Hamada, who died of cirrhosis in 1996, was planned by writer Takashi Asakura, photography critic Kazuo Nishii, Keiko Ishizuka, and critic Shinichi Kusamori, joined by Moriyama and editor Akira Suei. However, the exhibition was abandoned, and this book was born. The title, "Savage," is one of Hamada's themes, and while the images are elusive—geological strata, artificially constructed cliffs, shop decorations, demolished houses, concrete walls—they all evoke a graphic perspective. Moriyama, who served as editor, writes at the end of the book, "I hope that readers will not only be able to discern the individual traces of the photographer's relentless gaze, but also see the inherent potential that exists within photography itself."
