This series captures civil engineering structures across Japan, such as vast reclaimed lands, giant dams, and retaining walls and erosion control facilities built in mountainous areas, using an 8x10 large-format camera. The detailed depiction unique to large format and the distortion-free images vividly capture even the texture of concrete and the slopes of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"353\" data-start=\"166\"\u003eThe monochromatic screens are constructed with compositions that strongly emphasize horizontals and verticals, clearly presenting the mass of artificial structures and their relationship with the surrounding nature. The infrastructure spread across Japan's mountains and rivers since the period of rapid economic growth appears as entities with well-balanced geometric forms, yet imbued with a tension with nature. Shibata does not critically denounce or praise them, but quietly presents them with a keen sensitivity to the forms themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"563\" data-start=\"355\"\u003eThe book was originally planned to be titled \"Nippon Tenkei (Japanese Glimpses),\" but due to a typo at the printing office, it was published as \"Nippon Tenkei (Japanese Typical Form).\" As a result, this name resonates as a word that transcends individual fragments of scenery and indicates the structural characteristics carved into Japan's land, that is, the \"typical form\" of modern Japanese landscapes. In 1992, it received the 17th Kimura Ihei Award. Edited by Kyoko Yamagishi. It is composed of illustrations photographed in various locations from the 1980s to the early 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Title] Nippon Tenkei\u003cbr\u003e[Publisher] Asahi Shimbun Publications\u003cbr\u003e[Publication Date] October 1992, First Edition\u003cbr\u003e[Page Count] Unpaginated\u003cbr\u003e[Size] Approx. 29 x 30 x 1.4 cm, 1080g\u003cbr\u003e[Format] Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e[Language] Japanese\u003cbr\u003e[Title Reading] NIPPON TENKEI\u003cbr\u003e[Author\/Editor] Toshio Shibata \/ Author\u003cbr\u003e[Printing] \u003cbr\u003e[ISBN] 4-02-256508-X\u003cbr\u003e[Condition] Used [4] Good to Fair (Slight tear\/missing part on obi, slight foxing on edges, slight fading)\u003cbr\u003e[Accessories] Obi\u003cbr\u003e[Included in] \u003cbr\u003e[Related Exhibitions] \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToshio Shibata (1949-)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Tokyo in 1949.
