Daido Moriyama - Record No. 61

Akio Nagasawa Publishing 2025

Although now in his late 80s, Daido Moriyama continues to produce evocative snapshot photographs taken in the streets of Tokyo, Yokohama, and the surrounding area. Published several times a year, the photobook/zine hybrid “Record” has been a regular outlet for his photography since its reboot in 2006. In this 61st issue, Moriyama alternates landscape shots with close-ups of strangers, snapshots of street scenes, storefronts, industrial artefacts, and uncanny photos of ravens.

“I do some work at my office once every week, and when I arrived there yesterday, I found a copy of a massive photobook titled Moriyama: Quartet, which my London-based old friend Mark Holborn had put together from a selection of my previous works. Wait a minute.. Are these mine? There were of course quite a lot of old pictures, and some of them were taken such a long time ago that I wasn’t even sure I was the one who had made them. Now that I looked at them, they seemed to me like photos taken by some anonymous person. I continued to browse through the book and look at the countless images, and suddenly froze the moment I recognized Takuma Nakahira in one shot. There he stood, setting up his tripod on a street, and shooting while triking a pose like the inimitable Eugene Atget himself.” - Daido Moriyama
