A collection of works by Daido Moriyama, a representative Japanese photographer of the 20th century. It goes without saying that this is one of Moriyama's major works from his early to mid-period, and is a masterpiece on a par with "Nippon Photo Theater" and "Goodbye Photography." Since "Goodbye Photography," which rejected preconceived notions of photography and realism, and declared a break with the traditional act of photography itself, Daido Moriyama was stuck on the idea of what photography is and what the act of taking pictures is, and the balance between his thoughts and actions was lost, and he was unable to take photographs for a while. At that time, he was reminded of the "landscape photographs" taken by Niepce, a pioneer of photography technology, which captured the light, and this work, "Light and Shadow," led him to return to his roots, deciding that it would be better to simply capture the facts in front of him and the products of their light and shadow, rather than clinging to a style that tries to express his own thoughts. The first edition was published by Fuyukisha in 1982, and a new edition was published in 2009 by Kodansha in paperback size with a design by Satoru Machiguchi. This third edition is one of the books in the "Nippon Theater Photo Album," "Hunter," and "Goodbye Photography" series that Getsuyosha republished from 2018 to 2019. English version. Numbered edition. Signed by the photographer .
