Description from the seller

Published as the first volume in the Toy Camera Books series, t-82 presents Daido Moriyama’s photographs made exclusively with a HOLGA 120N toy camera.
Working with the camera’s characteristic soft focus, vignetting, light leaks and unpredictable tonal effects, Moriyama turns Tokyo’s streets, signs, passers-by and fragments of everyday life into highly personal, unstable and atmospheric images. Rather than treating the limitations of the inexpensive plastic camera as defects, he uses them to intensify the speed, ambiguity and visual instinct central to his practice.
A distinctive mid-2000s Moriyama title, connecting his long-standing are, bure, boke aesthetic with the square-format, lo-fi visual language of toy-camera photography.

Seller's Story

Totodo is a curated antiquarian bookstore based in Japan, dedicated to art books, photography, exhibition catalogues, artist publications, and rare out-of-print titles. Rather than operating as a volume-driven reseller, we approach bookselling as a form of editorial practice. Each work is carefully selected for its artistic significance, historical context, and lasting relevance, with an emphasis on titles that have shaped visual culture and contemporary thought. Drawing from decades of experience in the Japanese art book ecosystem, as well as relationships with collectors, estates, and specialized distributors, we are able to present material that is both culturally important and increasingly scarce in the international market. We maintain rigorous standards for condition assessment and bibliographic accuracy, and every item is securely packaged for international shipment. Our aim is to provide collectors and institutions with thoughtfully chosen works, professional service, and complete transparency.
