A copy of Daido Moriyama's self-published photo magazine "Record", which was published for the first time in July 1972 and continued until the fifth issue in July 1973. In addition, a large archive collection of "Records" containing reprints of issues up to 30 issues, starting with issue 6, which was restarted in 2006. Foreword by Mark Holborn.
Hardcover with slipcase.
Record is drawn from the first thirty issues of Daido Moriyama's personal publication, dating back to its origins in the seventies. The magazine provided a diaristic platform for this extraordinary photographer. Beside the pictures taken on his familiar ground in Tokyo and Osaka, Moriyama photographed the streets of New York, Los Angeles, Florence lane, Paris and ondo as he would have recorded thes and alleys of his hometowns. Once regarded as the leading Japanese photographer of his generation, Moriyama has come to transcend such a description. He is an artist in constant motion and his subject matter is both stark and universal.

■Daido Moriyama
Born in Osaka in 1938. After working as an assistant to photographer Takeji Iwamiya and Hideko Hosoe, he became independent in 1964. He continued to publish his works in photo magazines and other publications, and in 1967 won the Japan Photo Critics Association Newcomer's Award at the ``Nippon Theater''. From 1968 to 1970, he participated in the photo fanzine ``Provoke,'' and his high-contrast, coarse-grained style was described as ``are-ble-boke'' and shocked the photography world.
He has been highly acclaimed worldwide, having held solo exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Fondation Cartier Contemporary Art in Paris. First award. In 2012, the two-person exhibition ``William Klein + Daido Moriyama'' with William Klein was held at Tate Modern in London, and the collaboration between the two took the world by storm. In 2016, he held his second solo exhibition "DAIDO TOKYO" at Fondation Cartier Contemporary Art in Paris. In 2018, he was awarded the Order of Arts and Letters ``Chevalier'' by the French government. Winner of the 2019 Hasselblad Foundation International Photography Award.
In 2021, a two-person exhibition “Tokyo: Daido Moriyama + Shomei Tomatsu” with Shomei Tomatsu will be held at MEP (European Museum of Photography) in Paris. In 2022, he will hold solo exhibitions in Amsterdam, Rome, São Paulo, and Beijing, and is currently actively working.
