Moriyama is conspicuous for the brutality with which he distorts photographic description: his pictures are sooty with grain, blotchy with glare, often out of focus or blurred by movement, often defaced by scratches in their negatives.
Moriyama's work shares much here with Kenzaburo Oe's celebrated novel A Personal Matter (1969), in which Bird, a young man who dreams of exploring Africa but is a helpless prisoner of duty, suddenly finds himself the father of an infant born with its brain outside its skull.
Moriyama too, I think, addresses himself to this concealed aftereffect of defeat and Americanization, less concerned as he is with their physical manifestations than with the need to invent photographic cognates for their marks on the spirit, to make us experience what Tomatsu tells us about.

 9, Both Young and Old, "Secret Fallout, Low-Level Radiation From Hiroshima To Three-Mile Island"

Dr. Moriyama's report indicated that deaths from respiratory diseases and childhood cancers either declined steadily or held level throughout the 1930s and most of the 1940s, the period of rising air pollution and the tripling of cigarette consumption.
According to Moriyama, "The estimated excess deaths is about 85,000 deaths for 1961, and 131,000 deaths for 1962." The "excess deaths" had jumped from an average of 60,000 per year during the earlier period of testing to 85,000 in 1961, the year that the Russians detonated the largest megaton weapons ever exploded.

 Insight   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
As Moriyama's career progressed, the image of the stray dog came to be a signature, symbolizing the artist’s increasing identification with the idea of the vigilant outsider.
Moriyama was turned on by William Klein's exuberant photographs of New York and Andy Warhol's appropriations of commercial and news images, and his book Hunter was directly inspired by Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
These two photographs are emblematic of the two sides of Moriyama's work: the "objective" realism that focuses on the social and political state of things, and the "subjective" realism that seeks to rend the veil of appearances and see through it to some deeper truth.

 WISHES
The name "Nagasaki" tends to conjure up images of Christian persecution and the devastation caused by the atomic bombing, and, indeed, it is these two aspects of the city's history that are best known both in Japan and abroad.
One of the conclusions to which "Philosophizing in Nagasaki" took me was the call to "listen to the wishes of the dead," an important formula molded from modern studies on life and death within the greater scope of holocaust research.

 Catholic Saints and Christian Heroes - Takashi Nagai
He did not know that the Moriyamas’ ancestors had been leaders of Nagasaki’s “hidden Christians” who, from the late sixteenth to the late nineteenth centuries, had lived out the gospel in an illegal underground community, braving the ever-present danger of persecution, torture, and death for the sake of their faith in Christ.
The Moriyamas’ deep reverence for God touched him, and he was intrigued by the fact that their acceptance of the gospel did not mean a rejection of everything Japanese.
The Catholic bishop of Nagasaki determined to hold an open-air requiem Mass on the grounds of the burnt-out cathedral, and he asked Nagai to speak to the Christian survivors.

 Ending the Nuclear Weapons Threat to Humanity, by David Krieger, December 6, 2001
It was not a large step from the fire bombing of Tokyo on the night of March 9-10, 1945, in which some 100,000 civilians were killed, to dropping atomic weapons on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of that year.
By the end of the 20th century over 90 percent of the casualties of warfare were civilians, and throughout the latter half of the 20th century the threat of nuclear annihilation hung over all humanity.
