In 1971, Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama took a trip to New York City with Tadanori Yokoo. He stayed at the Chelsea Hotel and spent his days in The Museum of Modern Art Photography Study Center looking at pictures taken by Weegee. He shot 100 rolls of film with a half-frame camera, yielding 70 images per roll. Some of those pictures are presented here.

After Dazai and Daido Moriyama: Terayama, the third entry in Match & Company’s literary collaboration series with Daido Moriyama. Photographs by Daido Moriyama are paired with Oda Sakunosuke’s 1946 short-story “At the Horse Races” to pay tribute to one of Japan’s literary treasures.
“For this project, I paired photos of Osaka, taken by Daido Moriyama, with the short story “At the Horse Races”, written by Sakunosuke Oda in 1946, and edited them into this book. […]
I told Moriyama I wanted to create a book that, by pairing them together, would give an entirely new layer of expression to both his photographs of Osaka and the words of Sakunosuke Oda.
My trick to let two artists, each with a strong personality, meet within the space of a book to stimulate each other, has worked.”

あなたは得体の知れない混成都市を歩くことになる！
21歳で上京し、60年間ここに暮らして日々レンズを向け続けたぼくですら、その正体をいまだつかみきれていない。新宿も、池袋も、渋谷も、上野も、浅草も、銀座も、世界に二つとない特徴的な街を形成している。この本には、あの日のときめきを追い求め、路地に這い蹲るようにして彷徨き続けた末、ぼくなりの視点で捉えた、現代の東京の街並みを載せた。もし、この本と、そしてカメラを手に、この街を巡る人がいるならば、どうかそれぞれの視点で、興味の赴くままに、活写してほしい。

「卓馬桑，攝影果然真好啊。」──森山大道
昔日的記憶紛至沓來，此刻與過往的片段逐漸重合。正如書名《Nへの手紙（給N的信）》所暗示，森山大道的新作獻給他的摯友兼宿敵：攝影家中平卓馬。以逗子海岸兩側的葉山及鎌倉為鋪陳，森山在 2020 年的夏天，深崛記憶裡曾與中平共享的湘南光景。
1964 年，因東松照明的介紹，中平與森山在新宿的爵士酒吧初識。兩人同年出生，且同樣居住於神奈川縣的逗子；沒有太多的攝影收入，但有大量的時間可供消磨。整個夏季他們經常相約在附近的咖啡館見面，在葉山的海裡游泳，無聊時便拿出攝影雜誌批評其他攝影師，讓年輕氣盛的思想在炎熱的午後激烈迴盪。如今已相距五十多年，說到逗子，仍不可避免地提及中平卓馬這個名字，和兩人當時透徹又相犀的情懷。
「這本攝影集，是我通過照片向已故的中平卓馬傳遞的私人信息。湘南的景色，喚醒了我和中平卓馬過去的回憶。現在的實景與過去的風景在我的腦海中相疊，感覺又是另一個時空。我希望這些給中平卓馬的無數影像，將透過名為記憶的本質，保留下來。」── 摘自《Nへの手紙》後記
