LITERATURE The Photobook, pp. 298-99; 101 Books, pp. 218-20; The Open Book, pp. 290-91. "Shashin yo Sayonara is the most extreme monument of the Provoke period, indeed one of the most extreme photobooks ever published." (Parr & Badger). Moriyama's 'willingness to be led to the edge of photography's coherence is the photographic equivalent of Surrealist automatic writing by a camera that almost has a mind of its own' (The Photobook).

"Shashin yo Sayonara ist das extremste Werk der Provoke-Ära, ja eines der extremsten Fotobücher überhaupt." (Parr & Badger).

(The Photobook).
