"Japan, A Photo Theatre (Acceptable)" is a photo collection by Daido Moriyama, a leading Japanese photographer. It was published in 1968 as the first book by Moriyama. Revised versions have been published by Kodansha and Shinchosha, but this book, with its different design, layout and texture, is a masterpiece that has made its mark in the history of Japanese photography. After working as an assistant to Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe, he became a freelancer and continued to take photographs, experimenting and asking himself questions, and meeting Shuji Terayama, who is responsible for the text of this book, he snapped photos of the public and entertainers he saw behind the scenes of theaters and playhouses. The content is made up of re-edited versions of these images, and against the backdrop of the avant-garde photographic expression after William Klein and the rejection of realism photography led by Ken Domon, his desire to explore his own style, and the human and sentimental atmosphere that is characteristic of Daido Moriyama, who is different from Nobuyoshi Araki, intersect in "Daido Moriyama in the 1960s."
