What is DAIDO MORIYAMA’s “RECORD”?
“It was 34 years ago, back in 1972, that I came out with the self-published photo journal ‘Kiroku.’ At the time, I was busy with all sorts of work for magazines.
Partly because of a daily feeling inside that I shouldn’t let myself get carried away by it all, I came up with the idea of a small, self-published personal photo
journal. Without any ties to work or any fixed topic, I just wanted to continue publishing a 16-page booklet with an arbitrary selection of favorite photos among
the pictures I snapped from day to day. By nature, it was directed first and foremost to myself rather than other people. I wanted a simple,
basic title, so I called it ‘Kiroku’ (record). ”
However, the publication of ‘Kiroku’ sadly ended with issue number five. Now, thanks to the willpower and efforts of Akio Nagasawa, ‘Kiroku’ the magazine has resumed publication. Or rather, we should call it a fresh publication. With the hope that it will continue this time, I am selfishly thinking of asking Mr. Nagasawa to publish ‘Kiroku’ at a pace of four issues per year. I happily accept his proposal and look forward now to embarking on a new ‘voyage of recording.'”- Daido Moriyama
We are proudly announcing the global release of the e-Book version of Daido Moriyama’s legendary series “RECORD” on September, 2014. The entire series of “RECORD” will be released worldwide.
