About
As if to proudly announce his return to Shibuya – or perhaps the return of Shibuya’s bustling crowds – Daido Moriyama’s “Record No. 49” opens with a spread of the famous Shibuya crossing overflowing with people. Moriyama, who took things more slowly in recent “Record” issues after a period of poor health, mixes with the crowds in Shibuya’s streets again, focusing his lens on dynamically unfolding scenes, advertisements and the various textures of the street.
In the long afterword, Moriyama reminisces about his long career and the influence of late photographer Seiryu Inoue on his work.
