Issue 55 of Daido Moriyama's own ongoing journal.

“Even now that it's the end of August it's still quite hot outside. Meanwhile I continue to grab my little camera and walk out into the streets every day. It's never more than three or four hours these days, but I just don't feel well if I don't get this daily work done. About once a week I go to my office to take care of some business or other; on all other days I usually take a train or a bus from the nearest station, get off at some point, and then just walk around while mixing with the crowd. On some days it may be sixty or seventy frames, on others no more than twenty, always only so much that I feel satisfied. With that said, I can't deny a certain feeling that the images of the Shinjuku cityscape are gradually fading from my mind, and in my case this means something's wrong. Yokosuka, Kamakura and Totsuka are just around the corner now and they're all crowded. What more could I ask for? However, at the end of the day, what remains is my desire to return to Shinjuku. Indeed, I need to stand on a corner in Kabukicho at least once a week. As soon as it gets a little cooler in the autumn I'm definitely going to dive into the hustle and bustle again, and then I will also make the first issue in a while that will be all about it.” — from the afterword
