“The dog in me tells me to seek out bustling streets, the cat tells me to enter every back-alley I come across, and the bug in me drags me towards the red-light quarters. Copying the world from the view of a lowlife, particularly loitering through Tokyo every day, I feel that this is all the meaning there is to my life and my taking photographs.” (from Daido Moriyama’s afterword)
K (inspired by the Japanese kei, meaning “view” or “vista”) is the latest photography collection from Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. This striking book captures the raw essence of the city—its hidden corners, fleeting moments, and the people who bring it to life.
