Daido Moriyama was born outside Osaka in 1938, just seven years before the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, events that would alter the course of history and the character of Japanese life and culture. Every country experienced dramatic change in the decades following WWII, but in Japan, which had been a relatively insular and traditional society before the war, the change was especially radical and occurred with astonishing speed. For Moriyama and many other artists of his generation, the "new" Japan became the core subject of their work. It is the complex nature of the change that has informed Moriyama's photographs: the startling juxtaposition of age-old tradition with contemporary practice, the paradox of a culture that found the transformation at once disturbing and liberating, shocking and compelling.
