"Impressive Landscape (Damaged Jacket)," a photobook by Japanese photographer Yasushi Sugino. Yasushi Sugino was an amateur photographer active in the Kansai region in the 1960s and 90s. Although he was not prolific, this limited edition book published around 1970 received high praise, and his existence has become legendary. While holding him in high esteem, he disagreed with the "realism photography" advocated by Ken Domon and others, and remained committed to expressing his "individuality" through "landscapes that touched his own heart." These were not extraordinary things, but everyday life overflowing with human emotion, things and places where his own emotions were condensed. Published around 1970, when the trend in photography was beginning to shift from "objective" and "documentary" to "subjective" and "artistic," this book is a masterpiece that brilliantly fuses documentary elements that capture facts, avant-garde artistic expression that follows in the lineage of Kansai heavyweights such as Nakaji Yasui and Takeji Iwamiya, and Yasushi Sugino's outstanding sensibility and logic. This book is included in "The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990." (The jacket has tears and repair marks.)
