Out-of-print photo book 'PARIS 88/89' by Daido MORIYAMA offers a view of the French capital through the lens of a Japanese master photographer who lived there alone in the late 1980s, having shortly before discovered photographer Eugène ATGET for himself.

The book 'Unimachi 1997' by Koji ONAKA was created in 2012 under the impression of the devastating tsunami in Japan. The b/w photographs show the urban everyday life of the region at the end of the 1990s. The series was later published again as a volume.

In this 8th volume of a photo book series with screen-printed canvas covers, Daido MORIYAMA's 'Tiles in Aizuwakamatsu' the Japanese photographer takes as its subject the flood of roundish tiles that decorated the toilet of his hotel room in Aizuwakamatsu.
