Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's leading international photographers, is the author of “Water Dreams / Memories”, a collection of photographs. His work is synonymous with Daido Moriyama, who wanders around the city taking snapshots, depicting the haunting atmosphere of the city with extreme close-ups, fragmented frame work, and a contrasting touch, and finishing it in a rough and stylish manner through the use of grainy and gritty textures. His pursuit of original photographic expression and his avant-garde, experimental, yet humanistic style are symbols of postwar Japanese photography, which is highly acclaimed around the world. This book is a collection of works edited and composed by selecting works related to “water” from among the illustrations taken since the late 1960s. The book features poetic images of rivers, oceans, rain, snow, and puddles, and their interwoven landscapes. Limited to 980 copies.
