Description
Between June 1972 and July 1973, Daido Moriyama produced his own magazine publication, Kiroku, which was then referred to as Record. It became a diaristic journal of his work as it developed. In 2006, encouraged by the Japanese publisher Akio Nagasawa, Moriyama was able to resume publication of Record. The first thirty issues of Record were edited by Mark Holborn into the now classic 2017 photobook of the same title.
Daido Moriyama: Record 2, also edited by Mark Holborn, picks up from where the original left off, with a selection of images and texts by Moriyama from issues thirty-one to fifty of the magazine. With Moriyama now in his eighties, Record 2 will likely be the end of the story. But despite his advancing years, the work is unmistakably Moriyama's aesthetic – fiercely contrasted images with fragmentary, intensely composed frames that express the vision of one of the greatest photographers.

Media Reviews
'Filled with anecdotes about figures from his past, his philosophy as a photographer, and his reflections on both his craft and culture ... Moriyama reveals that Record isn’t just a vessel for photographing the world, but a driving force too' - Creative Review
'This is a book marinated in memories, autumnal in tone ... Yet the ghosts of old Tokyo in Record still linger. Moriyama’s reverie-rich prose, his commitment to stalking the city, his willingness – his need – to keep logging its moods and motions, continues to mesmerize' - World of Interiors
'The master street photographer is back ... offering viewers Moriyama's perspective of life more often than not from the streets' - Digital Camera World
'Harsh monochrome, a no-holds-barred look at modern-day Japan, with gritty urban scenes and raw street photography … one not to be missed' - Amateur Photographer
