Around the middle of the year, I got slightly ill, and eventually spent some time in hospital, after which I got to stay at my home in Zushi. Except for some business and a rehabilitation program that I did in Tokyo, I spent most of the days that followed walking in the streets and taking the occasional snapshot in the Shonan area.
But there’s one particular thing about Zushi / Shonan. It is for me a location that necessarily reminds me of Takuma Nakahira. Now that I was staying in Zushi for the first time in years, quite naturally there were various opportunities for me to reminisce about my days with Nakahira, which is already more than 50 years ago. In the evenings, I had plenty of time to read Mitsuzukeru hate ni hi ga…, a collection of Nakahira’s reviews that the publishing company had sent me a copy of quite a while ago, but that I had only briefly glanced through at the time. All kinds of thoughts crossed my mind as I went through the pages, ranging from “You’re absolutely right there, Takuma!” to “What?! Are you serious, Nakahira?” I finished the 500+ pages in a matter of days. The nights I spent reading in Zushi and the greater Shonan area were a time in which I had some nice yet lonely conversations with Takuma Nakahira, whom I unfortunately won’t have a chance to meet again in person.
This issue of Record compiles mainly snapshots that were taken between mid-April and mid-June, when I had to be hospitalized. Right now, I think it’s about time for me to get back to work and my never changing daily routine in Ikebukuro, and elsewhere in Tokyo.

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.
