DAIDO MORIYAMA: Hokkaido

After the photographer Daido Moriyama’s first travel to Hokkaido in the 1960’s he started to document their archipelago life. He was returning to the cities of the island until 2010 creating a photographic explorative journey. After the Second World War, Moriyama wasn’t able to photograph in Japan as the country was full of conflict. Therefore by accident he found Hokkaido and fell in love with it. Hokkaido contrasts the melancholy and everyday life of a rural society. Daido Moriyama was born in 1938 in Osaka and has obtained a worldwide reputation with his unique photography.
