A collection of works by Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's most highly regarded photographers. After graduating from the design department of a technical high school, he worked as a commercial designer, and was an assistant to photographer Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe before going independent. He has been active since the 1960s and continues to this day. This book is a new edition of "Letters to Saint-Loup" published in 1990. Saint-Loup is a small city in France where Niepce invented a primitive photographic technique in 1824. Moriyama also spoke of "the reality of Niepce's photographs" in his dialogue with Takuma Nakahira in "Goodbye Photography" (1972). In addition, in the afterword, he writes, "It is an album of the various lights and things I see every day as a person living in 1990, and at the same time, it is also a personal letter in photographs sent from me to Saint-Loup on that summer day." Whether it's an ordinary cityscape or an object captured as an objet d'art, Moriyama's signature contrast of light and shadow is engraved in it. Signed by the photographer .
