Daido Moriyama Hawaii, Limited Edition SIGNED

New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). Limited edition of 500 copies, hand-numbered and signed by Moriyama. Photographically illustrated wrappers, with photographically illustrated laminated dust jacket with title printed in Japanese and English on cover and spine.

With full-bleed duotone plates throughout, printed in Japan by Nissha Printing Co. Ominous dark seas, sultry landscapes and red-light districts, Warhol-inspired pop culture icons (Elvis and Marylyn make their inevitable appearances), solitary figures on desolate streets, are all'pure Daido. The occasional nod in homage to Robert Frank, Lisette Model, William Klein, Walker Evans, and others, balance the overt Provoke-era style Daido helped forge. Without the inclusion of several images of road signs and store names (and of course, the book's title), most of these photographs could have been made in any coastal city.

I'm so excited, and a little anxious - I've never been there before. I try to imagine what it's like, and I have a certain image of it - a nostalgic place, a place where time has stopped. When I get there, I'll probably find out it's nothing like that...
