Sixteen years after the publication of the classic Memories of a Dog, Daido Moriyama once again took us on an autobiographical journey to places which are significant to his photographic life.

The book starts with Paris, a city which the artist is obsessed with. Then it takes us to Osaka, Kobe, Shinjuku and Zushi, places that all play an important role in his work. And it moves on to Yokosuka, the American military base where his work begin to gain recognition. It also captures encounters between Daido and other photographers and artists while he was on the road, including William Klein, Shuji Terayama, Takuma Nakahira and Nobuyoshi Araki.
