"Shinorama Nippon" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kishin Shinoyama. Born in Tokyo in 1940, Shinoyama has been a leading figure in Japanese visual culture, working in a wide range of fields from advertising photography and portraits to nudes and performing arts. Known for his vibrant and powerful visual expression, based on skillful lighting, composition, and a sense of distance from the subject, he has earned high praise both at home and abroad. This large-format photo collection, published by Sekai Bunka Publishing in 1989, is an ambitious work featuring ultra-wide panoramic shots of nature, cities, festivals, and traditional culture across Japan. The dynamic layout, featuring double-page spreads and multiple foldouts, vividly captures seasonal landscapes and people's activities. The binding, under the art direction of Ikko Tanaka, is distinctive for its seamless integration of the photographs and the book's design. The composition, which alternates between vibrant colors and dignified black and white, evokes a visual journey, symbolizing the scale and experimental nature of Japanese photography in the late 1980s.
