¡HILL TO HILL
¡Maeda Shinsan / Shashin
Description
[Machine Translation] From the 1970s to the 1990s, photographer Shinzo Maeda captured nature and landscapes throughout Japan. In particular, his images of the four seasons in Hokkaido, centering on the town of Biei-cho, exploded in popularity for advertisements and calendars, and it is no exaggeration to say that they have become an established image of Hokkaido in the minds of the Japanese people. Shinzo Maeda first visited the hills of Biei 50 years ago in 1971. This is a collection of countless photographs taken over the past 20 years since then, reinterpreting the landscape of the hills from a new perspective. Editing and binding were done by Kage Maeda, grandson of Shinzo Maeda, who is active as a photographer and art director. By graphically connecting the ridgelines of various hills, the hills are connected from page to page, transcending seasons and eras, creating a book that is like a journey with the photographer. Feel the generous wind blowing through the hills, connecting grandfathers and grandchildren from the past to the present in front of a vast amount of positive film.
