"Day for Night" is a photo book by Toshio Shibata, one of Japan's leading photographers. Toshio Shibata majored in painting at Tokyo University of the Arts and later studied photography at the Royal Academy of Ghent, Belgium, where he studied abroad. Japan's unique landscape photography, based on a keen sensitivity to "shape" and "form," has received high praise from all over the world. The elaborately crafted and decorated dams and various structures are so beautiful in symmetry and form that they are often described as land art, due to the high level of technology backed by Japanese craftsmanship. On the other hand, the contrast between natural objects that have been destroyed in accordance with human material needs and artificial objects that are incompatible with each other also has a journalistic feel, as if warning against the destruction of nature. ``Nature'', ``Artificial'', ``Crafts'', ``Art'', ``Protection'', and ``Destruction''. . Shibata's illustrations, which contain a variety of messages, are full of the multifaceted charm of photography, and are a symbol of modern Japan. This book consists of Shibata's works published in the early 1980s, and also includes unpublished works. Unlike his works from the 1990s onward, this book includes many "night" landscapes, giving us a glimpse of a new side of Shibata.
