Moriyama Daido's Tokyo: ongoing

The celebrated documenter of Japan's postwar urban life, photographer Daido Moriyama is still going strong at the age of 81. Moriyama began his career in the 60s at a time when Japan was experiencing a dramatic transformation. He used a hand-held automatic camera to capture chaotic urban scenes of the American occupation and made waves with his rough, high-contrast images, eventually becoming one of the most influential avant-guard photographers of our time. Based on the theme of ‘ongoing’, this exhibition at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum focuses the city of Tokyo as seen through Moriyama’s lens in his latest color and monochrome works.
