Plastic Love by Daido Moriyama, published in Tokyo in 2020 by Akio Nagasawa Publishing as a numbered limited edition of 350 copies. This is copy no. 28. With art and editorial direction by Akio Nagasawa and printed in Japan, the publication was produced in close collaboration with Moriyama and carries the copyright of the Daido Moriyama Photo Foundation and Akio Nagasawa Publishing.
Born in 1938, Moriyama emerged as one of the defining figures of Japanese photography in the late 1960s, becoming closely associated with the radical photographic language surrounding the magazine Provoke. His grainy, blurred, high-contrast and deliberately unstable images—often described through the Japanese term are-bure-boke—rejected conventional photographic clarity and helped redefine the visual vocabulary of postwar Japanese photography.
Throughout a career spanning more than six decades, Moriyama has remained one of the most prolific and influential photobook makers in Japan. His practice has consistently treated the photobook not simply as a container for photographs, but as an autonomous form through which sequencing, reproduction, scale, texture, and fragmentation become part of the work itself.
Akio Nagasawa's Ginza gallery and publishing imprint has become one of Moriyama's closest publishing partners, producing a continuing series of tightly edited, limited-run publications in direct collaboration with the artist. These small editions occupy an important position within Moriyama's extensive bibliography, often distinguished by their restricted production and close relationship between artist, publisher, and collector.
A signed and individually numbered example from the 2020 edition, Plastic Love belongs to the continuing body of limited photobook editions through which Moriyama and Nagasawa have extended the artist's photographic practice into the contemporary Japanese publishing landscape.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
