the meaning behind kanye west’s album cover for bully. ye used his son saint west as the cover — because saint was the actual inspiration behind the name. but the image itself goes deeper. it was shot by legendary japanese photographer daidō moriyama and inspired by a 1964 japanese film called ori by filmmaker shūji terayama. the connection between the album cover and that film maker is cooler than you think. thoughts? 🤔 //follow for more *disclaimer - the connection between ORI and BULLY is not verified, however, speculated by Ye fans on the internet 💻 📸 ye, @justinlaboy , daido moriyana
