About

Daido Moriyama continues with issue number 53 of his long-running “Record” series. Shot in Tokyo and Yokosuka (and possibly other locations), Moriyama presents observations from Japan’s streets in his signature black-and-white style. His photographs not only document the “now” of Japan but also constitute a manifestation of Moriyama’s unending lust to see and to photograph.
In the afterword of this issue, Moriyama reminisces about his relationship with the photographer William Klein (1926–2022).
