Having published some one hundred and fifty books "Farewell Photography" ranks amongst his most influential publications. It is included in Andrew Roth's "The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century" and Parr/Badger's Photobook, Volume 1, pp. 298-299. The book was originally published in 1972 though all photos are reproduced here in the original size.

"Photography never reaches a state of completion. That is what makes it interesting-amazing. When I was young I made projects like Farewell Photography. It was all fiction. Although, for me at that time, it was a form of reality." (Moriyama in an interview with Ivan Vartanian, Aperture, 2020). Slipcase with some rubbing, else in fine condition.
