  • Daido Moriyama
    Daido Moriyama Born in Osaka in 1938, Daido Moriyama first trained in graphic design before taking up photography under Takeji Iwamiya and later working as Eikoh Hosoe’s assistant for three years. He began his career as an independent photographer in 1964, gaining instant recognition with his first publication, Japan: A Photo Theater, and for his association with Provoke magazine for its second issue in 1968. Since then, Moriyama’s artistic output has shown no signs of slowing, with more than 150 publications and 100 solo exhibitions to his name to date. Renowned for capturing the social unrest of post-war Japan, a rapidly changing country caught between traditional values and nascent subcultures, Moriyama’s brutal approach to photography perfectly echoed his subject matter, tearing apart the slickness of urban Tokyo and unearthing its darker, hidden aspects. In search of a more subjective voice, Moriyama rejected the dominant photojournalistic style and glossy commercial imagery of the times, developing his distinctive form of expression known as “are-bure- boke” (“rough-blurry-out of focus”) in the late 1960s. His radical cropping, intense exposure, grainy and disorderly images liberated photography from tradition, capturing both the outside world and his inner state. Moriyama also looked to Western artists for inspiration, particularly Andy Warhol and William Klein. He absorbed a sense of the materiality of modern manufacturing from Warhol, and through Klein’s works, came to realize the degree of freedom offered by the medium of photography. While Moriyama is best known for his high-contrast, black-and-white images, his work also includes color photographs and Polaroids hallmarked by his snapshot aesthetic and the idea of subversive narration.

  • Daido Moriyama (B 1938, Ikeda City, Osaka, Japan) Studied Photography Under Takeji Iwamiya Before Moving to Tokyo in 1961 to Work As an Assistant to Eikoh Hosoe
    Daido Moriyama (b 1938, Ikeda City, Osaka, Japan) studied photography under Takeji Iwamiya before moving to Tokyo in 1961 to work as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe. He produced a collection of photographs, Nippon gekijō shashinchō, which showed the darker sides of urban life and the less-seen parts of cities. In them, he attempted to show how life in certain areas was being left behind the other industrialised parts. Moriyama’s style is synonymous with that of Provoke magazine, which he was involved with in 1969, namely ‘are, bure, bokeh’, translated as ‘grainy / rough, blurry, and out-of-focus’. Moriyama’s photography has been influenced by Seiryū Inoue, Shōmei Tōmatsu, William Klein, Andy Warhol, Eikoh Hosoe, the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, the dramatist Shūji Terayama and Jack Kerouac‘s On the Road.

In illuminating eroticism as a fluid and multi-faceted concept, the exhibition is divided into four thematic categories: “Staged” that features staged photography that straddles the line between real life and fiction; “Private Diary” that presents snapshot and documentary captures of private lives; “Performance for the Camera” that showcases the artist’s self-revelation with performance elements; and “New Expressions” that features portraiture and still life where sexuality and the body take on surprising representations. “Staged” The male gaze and social connotations of eroticism are encapsulated in the works of staged photography on display.

  • Katsura Imperial Villa: a Brief Descriptive Bibliography, with Illustrations
    Katsura Imperial Villa: A Brief Descriptive Bibliography, with Illustrations Dana Buntrock, University of California, Berkeley There are three imperial residences in Kyoto: Gosho (京都御所), rebuilt in 1855 and used for for- mal affairs even today; Shūgakuin1 (修学院離宮), a summer retreat on mountain slopes built in the mid-seventeenth century; and Katsura Imperial Retreat (桂離宮), slightly older than Shūgakuin. Upon the death of the Hachijō imperial line in 1881, Katsura came into the hands of the reigning household; shortly afterward, the Imperial Household Ministry was formed and took responsibility for the care of such sites. Sometimes grouped with the other residences, Nijō Palace was origi- nally built not for the imperial household but for the warriors who effectively ruled Japan from the seventeenth to the middle of the nineteenth century; today, it too is managed by the Imperial Household Agency (the scope and name of the Imperial Household Ministry having changed at the end of World War II). Of these four, Katsura, with its extensive grounds and esteemed teahouses in addition to a large, shoin-style residence, is best known of all, used both at home and abroad to illustrate arguments about architecture and national tradition. Yet even so, much remains to be said about the complex, as demonstrated by this brief descriptive bibliography. Early Shōwa (1928–1945) The first extensive documentation on Katsura was a set of loose-leaf folios, published by subscrip- tion under the auspices of the Imperial Household Ministry and dedicated to Baron Hideo Higa- shikuze, who oversaw artisans in the building trades department of the ministry between 1924 and 1931.
