Daido Moriyama: Ango Daido Moriyama

*Available only in Europe

*This book is secondhand

A special volume where Japan's preeminent photographer, Daido Moriyama, intersects with the writer Ango Sakaguchi. Daido Moriyama: Ango (Japanese Edition) intertwines Sakaguchi's 1947 short story, In the Woods, Under Cherries in Full Bloom, with newly captured cherry blossom photographs taken specifically for this book by Moriyama.

Born from the strong impulse of book designer Satoshi Machiguchi to "crossbreed the respective cherry blossoms of two respected predecessors within the space of a single book," this is no mere illustrated novel. With each turn of the page, the "empty space" depicted by Sakaguchi and the modern cherry petals captured by Moriyama thrillingly intersect and overwhelm the reader. It is an art book that promises a dense reading experience, where literature and photography enhance each other, dragging you into the solitude of the cold, empty space and the dense cherry blossom forest.
