PHOTOGRAPHY MONOGRAPHS | ALL THINGS JAPANESE | JAPANESE PHOTO BOOKS | NEW ARRIVALS

‘Memories of Light’ is published on the occasion of a large-scale retrospective exhibition featuring Daido Moriyama at the Shimane Museum of Art. Starting with “Japan, A Photo Theater”, the catalogue orders Moriyama’s photographic work chronologically, embedding it within the artist’s biographical background. Filled with famous and lesser-known photographs, the book traces the career of the exceptional Japanese photographer and explores the connections between Moriyama’s life and the works he produced. The book also includes personal photographs from Moriyama’s family album as well as a statement by the artist and an illuminating essay by curator Noriko Tsutatani.
