Daido Moriyama

Daido Moriyama was born in 1938 in Osaka, where he studied photography before moving to Tokyo in 1961. Having worked as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe, a Japanese photographer and filmmaker, he began to produce his own collection of photographs. He ended up depicting the forgotten areas and darker side of cities. Shortly afterwards, he was awarded the New Artist Award from the Japan Photo-Critics.

Moriyama’s images are now noted for capturing the breakdown in Japan’s traditions. His work captures life during and following the American occupation of Japan after World War II. In particular the effects of industrialisation and the consequential shift in urban life. In which some areas were left behind the rapidly changing city.

Predominantly, Moriyama’s work is black and white with shades of grey. Additionally with the dark and grainy style of his photographs, echoes the subject matter. However, Moriyama’s complete works also include colour, Polaroids, screenprints, films and now silkscreens.
