This book is the 37th volume of a 40-volume photobook of the "Japanese Photographers Series" that includes representative works of 40 famous photographers who were active in the 1990s from the end of the Edo era to the Meiji era and after the war in the early 70s. Then, the special issue of "Daido Moriyama". Many of these kinds of works are limited to the collection of representative works, but Shino Kuraishi wrote as follows in his book "Anti-photograph theory" (Kawade Shobo Shinsha). "The Moriyama Daido Volume (Vol. 37) is a new photo book that invites certain discoveries, even if it does not deviate significantly from the contours of the existing Moriyama image. In this book, which seems to form the basic tone, the image of the “Hunter” collection is scattered, and the inclination of Moriyama's human interest emerges, that is, the position where Moriyama's line of sight toward human faces the “face” of the subject. It is understood that they tend to swoop behind them or to chase while staying, without going to."
