"Theater" is a photo collection by Daido Moriyama, a representative Japanese photographer and known worldwide. His unique expression, which effectively used rough textures and blurred and out-of-focus images, had a huge impact on the photography world in the 1960s. This book is published by Super Labo, a publisher based in Kamakura that continues to publish good books by Japanese photographers such as Moriyama, Masahisa Fukase, Koji Onaka, and foreign photographers such as Joel Meyerowitz, Antoine D'Agata, and Ed Templeton. When you think of "theater" in Moriyama, your first work, "Nippon Theater," comes to mind, but this book is a selection of photographs taken in the 1970s and 1980s, and is structured to extract stories of the desires and sorrows of office workers tossed about by the waves of society (company and family). In the early days of his career, Moriyama focused on the underbelly of a thriving society (underground theater troupes, the sex industry, etc.), but in this book he also captures the melancholy figures of the salarymen who supported the arrival of the bubble economy as foot soldiers, and the women in the night life business who seduced them, in Moriyama's unique snapshot style. Limited to 500 copies.
