Throughout his career, Daido Moriyama has produced extremely influential photo-books demonstrating the variety and complexity of his work, from the blurred and grainy style of his early Provoke-era publications, to his more classic city and object-based projects. Tales of Tono, published here for the first time in English, is one such book. Taking its name from a collection of Japenese rural folk legends, its non-narrative diptychs bring Moriyama's characterisically innovative approach to a subject usually associated with nostlagia for the past. Following Moriyama's own sequence, the photo-book contains a text by the artist, which offers the reader a typically honest and self-effacing account of his own thoughts about his practice. More than thirty years since its original Japanese publication, Tales of Tono gives a fantastic insight into one of the world's most original and provocative photographers.
