"Odasaku" is a photo collection by Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's world-renowned photographers. Wandering the streets, he took snapshots capturing the oppressive atmosphere lurking in urban areas. His work, characterized by extreme close-ups, fragmented framing, and high-contrast touches, captures the harsh yet stylish impact of grain and glaring textures. His unique style, avant-garde and experimental yet deeply human, is a symbol of postwar Japanese photography, garnering global acclaim. This book is a collaboration of words, photographs, and design by bookbinder Satoru Machiguchi, featuring the short story "Horse Racing" by the legendary novelist Sakunosuke Oda, affectionately known as "Odasaku," who died at the age of 33. The book also features illustrations from Daido Moriyama's "Osaka," a short story by Daido Moriyama. This wonderful book beautifully captures the artist's thoughts, from Odasaku's inability to let go of his wife to Daido Moriyama's seemingly inability to let go of his feelings for Osaka, to the book design. First edition, limited to 500 copies. Japanese version.
