Review of Hokkaido

Name of the book: Hokkaido

Author: Moriyama Daido

publication time: 2008 (Limited 1500)

This book looks like a panoramic view of Hokkaido. The film with coarse granule but shows delicate. The pictures not only high contrast but also to express the details. After I saw the photos, I can see the view of the different weather, and feeling the element of women ,naive children ,animals.  There are the view of Hokkaido from Moriyama Daido's camera. He used the same way to talk about Japan and human emotion. He has no idea why he would be interesting in the topic about this dark area.

He said, Maybe the whole city is made of labyrinth, Drive me crazy.

Why I want to recommend this book called Hokkaido?

Because not only the photos, but also his own emotion in that time shows Moriyama Daido's resolution of photos accumulate. I didn't see the real book because it is limited. It is 5.2 kg. And large quantity of works in this photography collection is the most huge one of Moriyama Daido. From his 30 years visual work in this book shows the professional design, print and bookbinding.
