Tono Monogatari is a photo essay by Daido Moriyama, Japan's leading photographer. This book has the same name as the classic of Kunio Yanagida, a compilation of folk tales and legends that remain in Tono, Iwate Prefecture, but Tono exists as a special place for Moriyama who also touched the work world of Kenji Miyazawa, a poet from Iwate. And there seemed to be a longing and desire like "hometown". Moriyama, who visited Tono for his first solo exhibition in the mid-70s, released the shutter as if obsessed with this folklore town, and then copied the memories forgotten by the Japanese and the original scenery lost. . This is the first edition published in 1976 after a solo exhibition at Nikon Salon (the reissued version was also published in 2007). Starting with color photographs, pastoral rural landscapes and landscapes, local townscapes, and traditional events are cut out with high contrast monochrome photographs typical of Moriyama.
