"Toshio Shibata is well known for his large-format landscape photographs, particularly those made in Japan. Shibata's photographs of mountainsides overlaid by concrete 'netting' and other engineering devices to prevent erosion. Our first book on this work, 'Landscape', was published to wide critical acclaim, and the first printing sold out upon publication. The artist's follow-up book, 'Dam', is perhaps more beautiful yet"--Publisher's description.
