A collection of photographs by Toshio Shibata, one of Japan's leading photographers, "Typical Japan". Toshio Shibata majored in painting at Tokyo University of the Arts and later studied photography at the Royal Academy of Belgium, where he studied abroad. Japan's unique landscape photography based on a keen sensitivity to "shape" and "form" has been highly acclaimed around the world. The elaborately crafted dams and various structures are full of symmetry and beauty of form to the extent that they are described as land art, backed by high technology backed by Japanese craftsmanship. On the other hand, the contrast between natural objects that have been destroyed according to human material needs and incompatible man-made objects gives us a glimpse of journalism as if to sound an alarm against the destruction of nature. Nature, man-made, craft, art, protection, destruction. . Shibata's illustrations, which contain a variety of messages, are full of the multifaceted charm of photography, and are also one of the symbols of modern "Japan." This book is the 1st photo book published in 1992 and is the representative work of Toshio Shibata, who won the 17th Kimura Ihei Award. It consists of illustrations taken in the countryside of Japan in the 1980s and early 90s. Edited by Kyoko Yamagishi. Obi missing.
