"Visions of Japan" is a collection of photographs of Higashimatsu Lighting, a leading Japanese photographer. A documentary photographer, Higashimatsu Lighting, who represents Japan after the war, who has always had a high level of awareness of problems and an inquisitive quest to approach the original image of Japan and the Japanese based on "Nagasaki" and "Okinawa". This book is the "Plastics" series consisting of color plates that capture the debris that hit the shore of Kujukurihama, Chiba Prefecture, which was called Point Lobos from Higashimatsu in 1987-89. Point Lobos is a sacred place on the edge of the ground where American landscape photographers such as Edward Weston and Winn Baroque finally arrived. Higashimatsu tries to show the future of the place where they exist by projecting the debris, seaweed, shells, etc. that were launched to the coast. At the same time, it is a collection of significant works that seek to cast a social issue indirectly through abstract recordings and depictions. Art direction is Kasai Sakai. Also includes interesting text by Shunji Ito.
