Most of the photographs featured in this 26th volume of “Record” were taken in the streets of Ikebukuro and adjacent areas.
It is more than ten years ago that I moved into a flat in an old apartment building in what is now Nishi (West) Ikebukuro. Up to that point, I’d been devoting myself first and foremost to the Shinjuku neighborhood, so I had little connection to Ikebukuro. I rarely ever went there even during the half year that I once spent in Shiinamachi, one stop from Ikebukuro station.
...However, during a walk in the spring of 2013 I happened to take one particular picture that I really liked, and that somehow sparked my interest. Or better perhaps, that belatedly made me aware that it would be a waste if I didn’t go out shooting on my home turf so to speak. I eventually spent more than a year on the prowl with my camera in the Ikebukuro neighborhood.
As a result, I realized that although Shinjuku and Ikebukuro are both major terminal stations, the air in the streets is different. The impression I’m getting from the people —their body temperature, or their constitution if you will— is just different. After all, I found out that the temperature in the streets of Ikebukuro again suit that of my own body.
In a nutshell, “lovable Ikebukuro, redoubtable Ikebukuro” is how I would describe the feelings I am harboring toward Ikebukuro these days.

Daido MORIYAMA
森山大道
Born 1938 in Osaka. After working as an assistant for photographers Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe, he went independent in 1964. He has been publishing his works in photography magazines among others, and received a New Artist Award from the Japan Photo Critics Association for Japan: A Photo Theater in 1967. Between 1968 and ’70 he was involved in the photo fanzine Provoke, and his style of grainy, high-contrast images that came to be referred to as “are, bure, boke” (grainy, blurry, out-of-focus) made an impact on the realm of photography. Solo shows at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain in Paris solidified Moriyama’s worldwide reputation, and in 2012, he became the first Japanese to be awarded in the category of Lifetime Achievement at the 28th Annual Infinity Awards hosted by the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. The “William Klein + Daido Moriyama” exhibition together with William Klein at London’s Tate Modern in 2012-13 was a showdown of two immensely popular photographers that took the world by storm.
