Some descriptive elements:

Daido Moriyama, Shashin Yo Sayonara - Bye Bye Photography. 1972, Shashin Hyoronsha, print run 1400 copies.
Black & white photographs printed in gravure. Shashin yo Sayonara is the central book of the Provoke movement, born out of Moriyama's perceived limitations of Provoke's manifesto and photography as a medium. The resulting combination of images re-photographed from newspapers, magazines, television screens, other people's negatives, and his own pictures composed mainly of out-takes, scratched frames, and blurred images was sequenced by two editors at Shashin Hyoron-sha in a seemingly random order to create a visual manifestation of the overpowering density of life in modern Japan.
Overall book condition is very good. Complete book, with its 1972 original dust jacket. A very clean copy throughout.


Unique copy, perfectly complete, in very good condition, in the original 1972 version, limited, sold out, and must-have!


Very good.
