A landmark monograph by one of the most influential figures in Japanese photography, Stray Dog captures Daido Moriyama’s stark, hallucinatory vision of postwar urban life. Published on the occasion of his first major U.S. retrospective at SFMOMA, this volume assembles some of his most iconic images, including the titular stray dog an emblem of his aesthetic of isolation, movement, and rebellion.
Known for his grainy, high-contrast black and white style, Moriyama documents the raw texture of cities in flux. His work blurs the line between realism and abstraction, intimacy and anonymity, creating a visual language steeped in restlessness and poetic grit.
This first edition stands as a foundational piece for collectors and photography aficionados a visceral, cinematic journey through the fractured realities of 20th century Japan. A book that doesn’t just depict the world, but haunts it.
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.
