“In his first exhibit, Japan: a Photo Theater I, Moriyama recorded the lives and expressions of traveling actors, as the title implies.
In this book, however, all photographs were taken in Tokyo. He takes objects existing in the world such as posters, magazines, mannequins, etc., which other people see as mass media, and places them on his own stage as though they were his own objects.” Shoji Yamagishi

Very scarce book in such a nice condition.
