Published to coincide with his 2011 retrospective at the National Museum of Art in Osaka, On The Road is a masterful compilation of Daido Moriyama's most iconic imagery. This volume brings together striking portraits and snapshots carefully selected from his legendary series, including Record, Tales of Tono, Japan Theatre, and Shinjuku.

Echoing Jack Kerouac’s classic novel of the same name, this photobook reads like a vivid visual narrative where the journey itself entirely transcends the destination. Through the streets of 1970s Tokyo and beyond, Moriyama’s signature black-and-white aesthetic captures the raw essence of his wanderings—accidental encounters, fleeting pleasures, and a succession of profound visualized memories. It is an essential exploration of his surroundings, inviting the viewer to walk alongside him on the open road.
