Description from the seller
Published by Sokyu-sha in 2005, Takuno is a deeply personal photobook by Daido Moriyama.
Takuno, a small village in Shimane Prefecture, is where Moriyama spent periods of his childhood and adolescence. Returning to this landscape many years later, he photographed the sea, mountains, streets and everyday surroundings that remained deeply connected to his memories.
The book contains 22 photographs printed in duotone, presenting a quieter and more introspective side of Moriyama’s work. Rather than the intense urban imagery for which he is best known, Takuno explores memory, place and the landscapes of his youth.
First edition, published in an edition of 1,500 copies.
CONDITION
Slipcase with small dents. The book itself is in very good condition.
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.
