A collection of works by Japanese photographer Mori Sumio, "On the Day of No Return." Details about Mori Sumio are unknown. However, from the contents of the text, it seems that he was a doctor by profession and enjoyed photography as a hobby. He seems to live in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, and graduated from Ueda High School, one of the most prestigious schools in Nagano. In the 1970s, the school building of Ueda High School was renovated, and Mori was in charge of taking photos of the renovation process and publishing the photo book "The Gate of the Old Castle: On the Renovation of Ueda High School" (1977). This is also a collection of works with beautiful monochrome contrasts, and the content is different from general documentary photography. This book was self-published in 1974 and is probably his first book. It is a book composed of "imaginary landscapes" taken on days off and at night, and when he went to Izu to visit his grandparents. There have been many doctors who have taken up photography as a hobby since long ago, including Yoichi Midorikawa and Takeyuki Suzuki of "Seto Inland Sea," and just like them, the rich gradations of the forest in monochrome are wonderful. This is a typical Japanese photo book from the 1970s.
