  UNL 2003 Retrospective
Moriyama watched then with the rest of the world as it became apparent that the shuttle was gone, and on it, the lives it carried.
Moriyama said that microgravity on the space shuttle was key to the research because it is much easier to crystallize proteins in that environment.
Moriyama said for now, his research is on hold, since it required microgravity, and the space program will likely be on hold while the cause of the accident is explored.

 Moriyama, Raymond
Through the years, Moriyama has distinguished himself as a designer of innovative projects across Ontario in which the space pleases the public for whom the buildings were intended.
Moriyama is the recipient of numerous honours including honorary degrees from 8 Canadian universities, a Confederation of Canada Medal, and a Life Time Achievement Award from the Art Foundation of Greater Toronto.
Moriyama has stated that for him, "architecture is a relentless, investigative process that must be concerned with human, ecological, technical, economic, and aesthetic issues," and his work endows that principle.

Moriyama served as Hosoe’s assistant for three years, becoming familiar with the major artists of the period, including the writer Yukio Mishima.
Radical artists, including Moriyama, sought a firm break with the highly regulated Japanese society that was responsible for the war, as well as an affirmation of the vitality of a pre-modern culture that was specifically Japanese.
Thus, the pictures Moriyama took of the American Navy base Yokosuka – reflecting the freedom he saw there – and the stray dog near the Air Force base at Misawa acknowledge both the liberating newness of the modern experience and its primal rawness.

Moriyama explains that by just showing the area between her fl skirt and high heels the image is more effective in that it forces the viewer to use his imagination.
Moriyama admits that greater detail and less roughness can be found in his snapshots of recent years.
Moriyama acknowledges that perhaps his photos of Japan are not what the typical outsider expects, but any previous perceptions a viewer might have are out of his hands.

 ArtandCulture Artist: Daido Moriyama   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Born in the aftermath of Hiroshima, Moriyama recorded the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan and the rapid transformation of the once-insular culture under heavy industrialization and exposure to Western values.
Trained in graphic design, the 20-year-old Moriyama turned to photography while languishing in unrequited-love limbo: "For better or worse, I became involved with photography because of a broken heart." Moriyama lost some of his enthusiasm for design and began taking only poster and pamphlet assignments, some of which required photographs.
Moriyama's work in fl and white, which spans four decades, portrays the gritty realities of urban Japan; small, hand-held cameras and off-kilter framing create an edgy feel of speed and movement.

Although Moriyama's work is well known in Japan where he is one of the country's major photographers, his photography has only been sporadically and incompletely exhibited outside Japan, and it has not received the full critical attention it so richly deserves.
Born in the port city of Osaka in 1938, Moriyama turned to photography at the age of twenty-one and moved to Tokyo to work with the eminent photographer Eikoh Hosoe.
Moriyama's photography was also part of this intense period in Japanese art.

Moriyama Sensei first began his training in the early 1950's under the guidance and leadership of many top instructors including Kisshomaru Doshu, Tohei Koichi Sensei (until his forming of Ki-no Ken Kyu Kai), Yukiso Yamamoto Sensei of Honolulu Aiki Kai, and Mitsuo Kimura Sensei of Pearl City Aiki Kai.
Moriyama Sensei participated in the All Japan Japan Self Defense Force Summer Camp in Ibaragi, Japan for an entire week, training in all phases of Aikido.
Furthermore, Moriyama Sensei, as elder statesman to the Dojo, continues to preserve healthy relationships with many Aikido Senseis in Japan and abroad, as well as the many students he has taught throughout the years.

The exhibition is a follow-up to solo presentations at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris (2003), the White Cube in London (2002), the Fotomuseum Winterthur/Folkwang Museum, Essen (2000) and the MoMA, San Francisco (1999).
That photo of Moriyama’s seemed to represent exactly what I was thinking.” Despite their common opinion that the meaning of a photograph results from an association between Eros and Thanatos, the pictorial vocabulary of Moriyama and Araki differs formally.
Moriyama’s preference for the atmospheric and the enigmatic, especially in his early work, testifies to a virtual abstraction of the motif.

Moriyama's ``Stray Dog'' is unforgettable: a low-angle street portrait of a beefy mutt that turns to look at the camera with mingled interest and menace.
As Moriyama describes it, a suntan echoes grimly the radiation burns suffered by war survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It is the emblem of a recurrent theme in Moriyama's art: that the thoughtless consumption of images is equivalent to consumption by images.

 DAIDO MORIYAMA: MEMORIES OF A DOG ("INU NO KIOKU") - SIGNED COLLECTIBLE BOOK FOR SALE
"Moriyama is without question one of Japan's most important photographers and it is not surprising that this memoir, first published as a series of essays in Asahi Camera, is regarded as a classic.
In 'Memories of a Dog', Moriyama approaches photography through language and it is difficult to say which is the more evocative medium.
This is an eloquent autobiographical account of the artist's progress through life: The places he's lived and traveled to, the newsreel theater that was like a second school, the bars, the coffee shops, and his journey to take his mother's ashes to be with those of his father.

 Daido Moriyama: Stray Dog
Moriyama has been influenced by a diverse range of artists, from Eikoh Hosoe, an internationally recognized photographer for whom he worked, to the writer Yukio Mishima, Andy Warhol, American photographer William Klein, Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
A pleasure afforded by a show of this size and scope is to see the development of the artist's work over time, the ways he changes, the ways that the changes are reflected in his images and technique.
Moriyama's work since the 1980's is lighter, crisper, and on a larger scale than before.

At first, Moriyama said that was just a coincidence, but later he said that hair color can be used to show a character's personality.
Moriyama feels that one anime director has an untapped sense of parody, someone you wouldn't expect; Mamoru Oshii, the director of psychological thrillers such as Ghost in the Shell.
Oshii was known for parody in his earlier works, Moriyama said, and he thinks Oshii would like to explore that in his next films.

Moriyama and Teshima's buildings are known for their sculptured angularity or curved exteriors, which are dynamic yet serene, as well as for their open, functional interiors, which are warm and intimate.

 CBC Ottawa - Features - Canadian War Museum
Moriyama, the lead architect for the Canadian War Museum, is one of this country's most successful architects, whose hundreds of projects span the nation and dot the globe.
Like the grass after winter turning green on the museum's roof, and perhaps like Moriyama's faith in Canada, the building is meant to represent the ability of man and nature to recover from the devastation of war.
Moriyama has tried to make the museum a home for reflection and remembrance, a place that lauds the heroism and sacrifice of Canada's soldiers, without necessarily glorifying war.

Moriyama's philosophy toward animation is the same as legendary American animators such as Chuck Jones and Tex Avery: they all made films that they enjoyed and hoped that others would find the films entertaining.
Despite the wider use of computer animation, Moriyama expects anime will retain the look of painted cels and won't go to a modeled 3-D look.
Also, the sub-plot of C-Ko being an alien space princess was added to the film when the decision was made to expand A-Ko from a 30-minute Cream Lemon OAV to a full feature.
