About
Toshio Shibatas LANDSCAPE is a series of compositional images of concrete retaining walls and erosion control dams in the mountains of Japan. Thesewalls and dams, built with Japans advanced civil engineering technology, are strikingly beautiful and well proportioned, but at the same time, they areman-made objects that are incompatible with nature, yet in a sense they symbolize Landscape in modern Japan. This portfolio features six collotype printsof Shibatas representative works taken in Niigata, Fukushima, Miyazaki, and Tochigi between 1989 and 1990. Please enjoy these prints, which are different from the original Gelatin silver prints.
