``Record'', a private photo magazine, was started in 1972 as a search for ``a minimalist medium that would allow people to quickly print everyday photos and show them by hand to people nearby.'' It was temporarily suspended after the 5th issue of the following year, but was revived in 2006 and continues to be published today.
“Records” can be said to be the origin of Daido Moriyama.
Please enjoy Moriyama's long journey as a photographer.

■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.
