Fragments is a compelling collection of Daido Moriyama’s work, published to coincide with his 1998 retrospective at Tokyo’s Parco Gallery. Spanning over three decades of his career, it gathers images that embody his restless, grain-soaked vision of post-war Japan.
 
The photographs move between the erotic and the everyday, the chaotic and the abstract, offering glimpses of city streets, fleeting encounters, and stark fragments of life. Together, they create a portrait of Moriyama’s distinctive style: raw, intimate, and unflinchingly direct.
 
More than just a retrospective, Fragments captures the essence of Moriyama’s practice in a single volume. Now long out of print, it remains a sought-after title for collectors and anyone drawn to the provocative edge of Japanese photography.
