"Visions of Japan" is a photo book by Japanese photographer Hikaru Inose. Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1960, Hikaru Inose studied photography under Seiryu Inoue at the Department of Photography at Osaka University of Arts. Although he has been actively engaged in creative activities since the 1980s and has held numerous exhibitions, he is known for his limited output due to his extreme obsession with creation and printing. However, there are many die-hard photography fans who are fascinated by his conceptual, story-rich style and profound prints, and the retrospective ``Complete Works of Hikaru Inose'' published by Monday Publishing in 2015 received a great response. The comments written by Daido Moriyama, with whom he has a close friendship, are very interesting. Excerpt below: ``In terms of photographic methodology, Hikaru Inose and I are as different as the North Pole and the South Pole.He questions the essence, and I think about representation, but in the end, it all boils down to a single copper coin.'' This book is part of the series "Visions of Japan" published by the now-defunct Korinsha Publishing in the late 1990s, and includes works from the 1980s and 1990s.
