About

For the 50th issue of his long-running “Record” series, Daido Moriyama dares to break the mold: instead of the usual street photography (described by Moriyama himself as the “walk, watch, and shoot” approach) the fiftieth “Record” is dedicated to a single female subject, a rare genre in the Japanese master photographer’s oeuvre. Having met a woman called Yaco at the office of publisher Akio Nagasawa and being taken by her unique charm, Moriyama spent a day together with Yaco at the end of 2021 to photograph her in neighborhoods around Ginza and Yurakucho in Tokyo before heading inside to continue with a few nude shots.
