A photo collection by Japanese photographer Masaaki Yamamura. Since his high school days, he has been selected for many monthly contests such as "Camera Mainichi". While studying at Nihon University College of Art, he published a work depicting children playing around "Washington Heights", where US military personnel and their families live, which was located in the park at that time. After graduating, he worked as a commissioned photographer for "Josei Jishin". Since the 1970s, he has been creating plant photographs that effectively use strobes, and was selected along with other famous photographers for the famous exhibition "Japan: A Self-Portrait" held at ICP in 1979 by Cornell Capa and Shoji Yamagishi. This book is a collection of his posthumous works published in 1988. Unlike the previous work, it is composed of all color plates. The plants are so mysterious, eerie, and sometimes murderous that it seems as if the photographer's loneliness was sublimated by facing the plants. The plants illuminated by the strobe light are transformed into outer space, creating an illusion that the sky is transformed into outer space. This book can be said to have opened up new horizons in plant photography. It includes texts by such distinguished people as Seigo Matsuoka, Ikko Narahara, Yoshinobu Jumonji, and Jun Morinaga.
