Description from the seller
Daido Moriyama: Kariudo / A Hunter. Chuo Koronsha, 1972. First edition.
A Hunter is one of Daido Moriyama’s most important early photobooks, published in 1972 by Chuo Koronsha as part of the Eizo no Gendai series. Issued around the same period as Farewell Photography, it marks a crucial moment in Moriyama’s early career.
Inspired in part by Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, Moriyama travelled across Japan by car, photographing streets, towns, landscapes, people, animals, signs and fragments of everyday life. The resulting images form a raw and restless visual journey through postwar Japan. With his distinctive high-contrast, grainy and blurred style, Moriyama captures the anxiety, energy and dislocation of modern Japanese society.
The book also includes a text by Tadanori Yokoo.
CONDITION
Light foxing to the endpapers, top edge and fore edge. A small label removal mark to the endpaper. The flap of the clear jacket has a crease. Overall 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.
