"Osaka + Osaka Plus" is a photobook by Daido Moriyama (1938-), one of Japan's leading photographers. From the mid-1950s, he worked as an assistant to a commercial designer in Osaka. Turning to photography, Moriyama joined the studio of Takeji Iwamiya, and later moved to Tokyo to become an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe. He became active as a photographer from the late 1960s, met Takuma Nakahira and joined "Provoke," and from the 1970s onward, he left behind masterpieces such as "The Hunter" and "Goodbye Photography." This book is a pocket-sized edition with a thickness of about 40mm, which is an expanded and completely re-edited version of the photobook "Daido Hysteric No.8" published by Hysteric Glamour in 1997. The following is from the book jacket: "When I was just under twenty, my daily life was in Osaka. Looking back now on Osaka and myself at that time, it seems almost like a fantasy. Back then, as a young man, the needle of my heart kept pointing straight towards Tokyo. And now, the needle of my heart has turned around again and is returning to the streets of Osaka. It must be nostalgia for me, who was born in Osaka. However, the streets of Osaka reflected in the lens are as resilient as ever, and they easily cut through my nostalgia." With book jacket.
