"Japan, a Photo Theater Ⅱ (Signed, Acceptable)" is a collection of works by Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's leading photographers. After graduating from the design department of a technical high school, he worked as a commercial designer, and after working as an assistant to photographers Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe, he went independent. His activities since the 1960s continue to this day. This book is one of a series of photobooks published by Asahi Sonorama in the 1970s, and is composed mainly of works presented at the exhibition "Tokyo: The World of Meshes" held at Nikon Salon in 1977. It is a sequel-like collection of works that takes its title from his debut work, "Japan, a Photo Theater". The following is an excerpt from "Perspective from a Solitary Cell" by Shoji Yamagishi, the former editor-in-chief of Camera Mainichi: "Moriyama's photographs have grain and tone. And he has the ability to capture the way things are. In Moriyama's heart, there is loneliness, suspicion, desire, disappointment, and sentimentality. Sometimes there is even hope." (Signed by a rare photographer in the year of publication, but there is some fraying and waviness at the top of the pages) .
