Daido Moriyama: Record 26 (Signed)

Daido Moriyama’s personal photographic magazine, originally published in 1972-73 then ongoing since 2006.

 "during a walk in the spring of 2013 I happened to take one particular picture that I really liked, and that somehow sparked my interest. Or better perhaps, that belatedly made me aware that it would be a waste if I didn’t go out shooting on my home turf so to speak. I eventually spent more than a year on the prowl with my camera in the Ikebukuro neighborhood.
As a result, I realized that although Shinjuku and Ikebukuro are both major terminal stations, the air in the streets is different. The impression I’m getting from the people —their body temperature, or their constitution if you will— is just different. After all, I found out that the temperature in the streets of Ikebukuro again suit that of my own body.
In a nutshell, “lovable Ikebukuro, redoubtable Ikebukuro” is how I would describe the feelings I am harboring toward Ikebukuro these days."
