Description from the seller
Shinorama Nippon
Signed, Kishin Shinoyama
Sekaibunkasha/1989/Japanese/280*375*25
Shinoyama Nippon: Photographs by Kishin Shinoyama. Born in Tokyo in 1940, Shinoyama has pioneered Japan's visual culture through his diverse work spanning advertising photography, portraits, nudes, and performing arts. Renowned for his masterful lighting, composition, and intimate rapport with subjects, he creates vibrant, powerful imagery that has earned him international acclaim. This large-format photobook, published by Sekai Bunka Sha in 1989, is an ambitious work capturing Japan's nature, cities, festivals, and traditional culture through ultra-wide panoramic compositions. Its dynamic layout, utilizing double-page spreads and multi-fold pages, brings the seasonal landscapes and human activities to life with vivid immediacy. The design, featuring art direction by Tanaka Ikko, is also notable for its pursuit of unity between photography and bookbinding. The composition, alternating vivid color and rich monochrome to create a visual journey, symbolizes the scale and experimental nature of Japanese photographic expression in the late 1980s.
