"Food (Signed)" is a photo collection by Kishin Shinoyama, a photographer who has been active at the forefront since the late 1950s. While he is generally known for his "Gekisha" series from the 1970s and his nude photo collection from the 1990s, Kishin Shinoyama has also made great achievements with works that focus on things and events that are deeply related to human activities, such as his early masterpiece "House". This book, like "House", was published by Ushio Publishing, and focuses on Japanese life and food culture with food as its theme. It carefully depicts ingredients familiar to Japanese people such as fish and meat, as well as the food culture cultivated by Japanese people such as live sashimi, kabayaki, tempura, soba and udon. Many of the details are vivid cuts of ingredients and cooked objects, which give a strong sense of meaning, and perhaps this is a reflection of the Japanese food culture that makes the most of the ingredients. The impact of the photographs is counterbalanced by the book design, such as the bold gold-covered binding. It was created by designer Tsuguya Inoue, who was an indispensable presence in Shinoyama's photobooks of the 1990s, including Rie Miyazawa's nude photobook "Santa Fe." Signed by the photographer .
