Description
Daido Moriyama is widely recognized as one of Japan''s most important and influential photographers, concentrating on the little-seen parts of the city and highlighting the effects of industrialisation on modern life in Japan. He has showcased his photography in dozens of extremely influential artist''s books which have had an enormous impact on the world of photography. One of these is Tales of Tono, first published in 1976, which features work shot in the countryside of northern Honshu. Taking its name from a collection of Japanese rural folk legends, its panoramic landscape diptychs and distinctive raw technique characterise the style Moriyama brought to his more urban subject matter. Published here for the first time in English, Tales of Tono is the perfect introduction to one of the world''s most beautifully unsettling photographers.
