Daido Moriyama - K - 2017

Daido Moriyama - K（ケイ）通过数字镜头窥见现代城市的罕见一瞥
This striking photobook, titled "K" (a play on the Japanese word kei, meaning "scenery" or "vista"), captures the legendary Daido Moriyama in a contemporary light.

Published in 2017, this volume marks a significant moment in the artist's late career as he fully embraces digital photography to document the chaotic, vibrant, and often overlooked fragments of Tokyo and beyond.

About the Book
In "K," Moriyama abandons his traditional film camera for a digital one, yet his signature "Are, Bure, Boke" (grainy, blurry, out-of-focus) aesthetic remains unmistakably present.

The book is a relentless sequence of street snapshots—narrow alleys, cluttered shopfronts, and anonymous urban dwellers—that pulse with the "vulgar glory" of the secular world.

It also features a personal essay by Moriyama titled "Starting Point and Present Location – Journey to Niépce / Today's Three," providing deep insight into his creative philosophy as he continues his lifelong journey as a "stray dog" wandering the streets.
