Introduction:

Daido Moriyama, age 81, is still active as an artist. He is probably the most prominent and the last charismatic figure in the world of photography. He received numerous awards worldwide including the Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement from the International Center of Photography in New York (2012) and Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2019). He nonchalantly transcends art, fashion, and design, and is loved and respected all over the world. This documentary follows Moriyama, "the king of the street snapshot", and reveals how his works are born.
