A special volume where Japan's preeminent photographer, Daido Moriyama, intersects with the literary world of novelist Osamu Dazai. Dazai intricately combines Moriyama’s timeless monochrome photographs with Dazai’s representative 1947 masterpiece, Villon's Wife.

Dazai's writing style, which brings raw and vivid human figures to life within the atmosphere of the post-war era, resonates deeply with Moriyama's sharp snapshots. Just as Moriyama notes that Dazai's work perfectly matches his own sensory memories of the post-war period, these two transcendent talents thrillingly fuse together. It is a captivating art book where photography and literature draw out each other’s allure, inviting the reader into a dense labyrinth of imagery.
