gallery 176 will host Daido Moriyama’s exhibition “ODASAKU” between April 21st and May 21st.
“Daido Moriyama: Odasaku” is a book that pairs photos taken by Daido Moriyama in Osaka with the shortstory “At the Horse Races” by Japanese writer Sakunosuke Oda (“Odasaku”), a central figure of the Burai-ha
literary movement. Within the space of the book, both works converse and influence each other, giving riseto new nuances in both Moriyama’s photos and Odasaku’s text.
To celebrate the publication of the book, gallery 176’s exhibition “ODASAKU” will combine words from
Sakunosuke Oda’s short-story with photographs by Daido Moriyama, silkscreen-printed specially for theoccasion of the exhibition.
This year it will be 70 years since Odasaku's death. Odasaku and Moriyama's works, both of which were bornin Osaka, will be exhibited here in Toyonaka, which is closely related to Moriyama.

About “Daido Moriyama: Odasaku”
Graphic designer and publisher Satoshi Machiguchi lets photographs by Daido Moriyama interact withworks by important Japanese writers to create books with a new kind of expressive power.
“Daido Moriyama: Odasaku” is the third iteration in the series, after “Daido Moriyama: Dazai” (with a shortstory by Osamu Dazai) and “Daido Moriyama: Terayama” (with texts by Shuji Terayama).
Despite his short active writing period of merely seven years, Osaka native Oda Sakuonsuke left behind animportant literary legacy, his countless works - most famously “Hurray for Marriage” - describing life in
Osaka, before dying in Tokyo at age 33.
Satoshi Machiguchi brilliantly re-arranged Sakunosuke Oda’s words with photographs taken by Moriyama– himself an Osaka native who then moved to Tokyo – in his old hometown.
“Daido Moriyama: Odasaku” is available in both English & Japanese editions and can be purchased
worldwide.
