■DAIDO MORIYAMA RECORD：No.25 e-Book Version
No matter what other factors
may come into play, what I
associate with Okinawa is ﬁrst
and foremost a very personal
condition of being irradiatedand embraced by "light".
The light in the back-alleys ofNaha; the light thatcompletely environs a certain
beach; the light that
illuminates the avenues
around the military base; andthe light that showers thegusuku (castle) hills. To me,
the light of Okinawa always
presents itself with a particularkind of quality. -DAIDOMORIYAMA (Experts from theoriginal text of Record No.25)
The content in this issue are
the photographs taken during
the exhibition "Daido
Moriyama:Endless Works N/S"
(2014) which took place atOkinawa Prefectural Museumand Art Museum(January 23rd- March 23rd, 2014).
What is DAIDO MORIYAMA's "RECORD"?
"It was 34 years ago, back in 1972, that I came out with the self-published photo journal 'Kiroku.' At thetime, I was busy with all sorts of work for magazines. Partly because of a daily feeling inside that I shouldn't
let myself get carried away by it all, I came up with the idea of a small, self-published personal photojournal. Without any ties to work or any ﬁxed topic, I just wanted to continue publishing a 16-page booklet
with an arbitrary selection of favorite photos among the pictures I snapped from day to day. By nature, it
was directed ﬁrst and foremost to myself rather than other people. I wanted a simple, basic title, so I called
it 'Kiroku' (record). "However, the publication of 'Kiroku' sadly ended with issue number ﬁve. Now, thanks to the willpower andefforts of Akio Nagasawa, 'Kiroku' the magazine has resumed publication. Or rather, we should call it a freshpublication. With the hope that it will continue this time, I am selﬁshly thinking of asking Mr. Nagasawa topublish 'Kiroku' at a pace of four issues per year. I happily accept his proposal and look forward now toembarking on a new 'voyage of recording.'"- Daido Moriyama
