Daido Moriyama is a Japanese photographer and writer concerned with depicting the tearing down of traditional values in post-war Japan, drawing attention to the "indigenous world that remained in the shadows of rapid economic growth."
In 1972, Daido Moriyama self-published a photo journal of Tokyo called "Kiroku" (Record).
34 years later, a continuance on the same theme - the same record - was published as Record No. 6. and made up of 32 full-page black and white photographs.
In Record No.7 and No. 8 this exploration of Tokyo is continued, where as Record No.9. is an exploration of the three European cities Cologne, Antwerp and Oslo.
The common denominator is his desire to shine a strong light on "the gloomier parts of cities usually hidden from sight".
You can get the reprint editions of Record No 1-5 - "a valuable slice of early Moriyama that provides a unique insight into an important phase of his development" - here .
