"The Tropics (With OBI)" is a photo book by Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's most acclaimed photographers in the world. After graduating from the design department of Kogei High School, after working as a commercial designer, he became independent after working as a photographer, Takeji Iwamiya, and an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe. As you know, he has been active since the 1960s. This book is a collection of snapshots taken in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam from 1980 to 1990. As the photographer himself wrote in his postscript, Moriyama, who was basically "northern-oriented" as a mentality, was triggered by the music played at his favorite bar in Shinjuku Golden Gai, and his relatives' needles turned south. It seems that it has started. I will explain later that such a desperate desire to somehow change my life in general may have made it so. Although it is a unique unpublished work, it is a collection of works where you can enjoy the Moriyama style, which is rich in energy and graphical elements. With obi.
