{"product_id":"shinoyama-kishin_shinorama-nippon","title":"SHINORAMA NIPPON (signed)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA photobook by Kishin Shinoyama. This book features his unique photographic expression, \"Shinorama,\" developed after 1983, applied to landscapes, traditional architecture, performing arts, and people across Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Shinorama\" is a coined word by Shinoyama, combining Cinerama, Panorama, and his own name. It was developed as a method to compose an expanse or overlap of time that a single viewpoint cannot capture, within a single frame, by combining multiple cameras or multiple viewpoints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book employs various techniques, such as rotating a single 4x5 inch large-format camera to photograph multiple directions, and simultaneous shooting with multiple cameras. By breaking down the usual monocular perspective and connecting multiple viewpoints, different times, and different spaces into a single frame, it reconstructs fragments of reality and creates new visual experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographs capture symbolic Japanese cultural landscapes, places, and people, such as the four seasons of Japan, Gion Ichiriki-tei, Kitcho, Sanja Matsuri, Todai-ji Temple, Eihei-ji Temple, Bunraku, Kabuki, Noh, tea rooms, hot springs, and Mt. Fuji. Reiko Ohara, Azusa Mano, Kazumasa Nakagawa, Sayuri Yoshinaga, Kon Ichikawa, Isamu Noguchi, Tamasaburo Bando, and Shoji Ueda also appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReconstructed mainly from \"Shinorama Nippon,\" which was serialized in 'Kateigaho' from 1986 to 1988, this edition also includes newly shot material. A major feature is its 192-page continuous double-gatefold binding, allowing the multi-viewpoint space of Shinorama to be experienced as the very structure of the book, with screens opening up to approximately one meter wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArata Isozaki discusses Shinorama in this book by relating it to continuous, multi-focal expressions in Japanese art, such as emaki (picture scrolls), byobu (folding screens), shōheki-ga (wall paintings), and ukiyo-e. The composition and binding are by Ikko Tanaka. This book conveys the experimental nature of photographic expression and book design of the 1980s, where photography, printing, and binding are integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned and inscribed presentation copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Title] SHINORAMA NIPPON\u003cbr\u003e[Publisher] Sekai Bunka Publishing Inc.\u003cbr\u003e[Publication Date] August 1, 1989\u003cbr\u003e[Page Count] 193 pages\u003cbr\u003e[Size] Approx. 280 x 375 x 25mm \/ 2050g\u003cbr\u003e[Format] Hardcover \/ Slipcase\u003cbr\u003e[Language] Japanese, English\u003cbr\u003e[Title Reading] Shinorama Nippon\u003cbr\u003e[Author\/Editor, etc.] Kishin Shinoyama\/Author, Arata Isozaki\/Text, Ikko Tanaka\/Composition and Binding, Masaki Suzuki\/Layout, Mitsuko Kaneko\/Text and Editing, Japan Echo Inc.\/Translation\u003cbr\u003e[Printing] Kyodo Printing Co., Ltd.\/Printing and Binding\u003cbr\u003e[ISBN] -\u003cbr\u003e[Condition] Used, signed and inscribed presentation copy [4] Good to Fair (Slipcase: slight rubbing, slight tanning, slight scratches; Book: 5 gatefolds with minor creases and slight wrinkles)\u003cbr\u003e[Accessories] Slipcase\u003cbr\u003e[Featured In] -\u003cbr\u003e[Related Exhibitions] -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKishin Shinoyama (1940-2024)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Tokyo.
