About This Item
Paso Robles: Nazraeli Press, , 2015. Rilegato seta, sovracoperta (silk, dust jacket). Ottimo (Fine). NZ Library Set 2. With 41 duotone plates and a brief text by Toshio Shibata in English and Japanese. Cm 38,5 x 30,5. pp. 48. Ottimo (Fine). Prima edizione di 350 esemplari numerati e firmati dall'Autore (First edition of 350 numbered and signed copies). "La fine degli anni '70 ha visto il completamento della costruzione del Giappone dopo la guerra, così come l'appassimento del movimento studentesco e vari atti terroristici che avevano scosso la comunità globale. I primi anni '80 furono una breve parentesi di calma, che anticipava la fine della lunga era Showa, prima che il Giappone fosse sommerso dalla bolla economica.
Ero appena tornato in Giappone nel 1980, dopo aver studiato per quattro anni nelle Fiandre, dove il tempo scorre lentamente e l'atmosfera è molto rilassata. Oltre alla rapida avanzata dell'occidentalizzazione, la realtà di questa nuova Tokyo, dove la vecchia Showa prebellica si mescola con la Showa moderna (postbellica) mi sembrava disordinata e caotica, e non era facile catturarla visivamente. Ho lottato per trovare il mio modo di esprimermi e ho iniziato inseguendo le luci della notte per deviare questo caos". (Toshio Shibata, dalla postfazione).
“The end of the 1970s saw the completion of Japan's postwar construction, as well as a withering of the student movement and the various terrorist acts that had shaken the global community. The early 1980s was a brief interlude of calm, anticipating the end of the long Showa era, before Japan was deluged by the bubble economy.
I had just returned to Japan in 1980, after studying for four years in Flanders where time moves slowly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. In addition to the rapidly advancing westernization, the reality of this new Tokyo, where old pre-war Showa is blended with modern Showa (post-war) looked disorderly and chaotic to me, and it was not easy to capture it visually. I struggled to realize my own mode of expression in this home country of mine, and began by chasing lights of the night-time to deflect this chaos.” (Toshio Shibata, from the Afterword).
