Toshio Shibata?s For Grey shows how he composes with the Japanese landscape pure aestheticism, perfect balance between the power of nature and the on going constructions to control it. With his 8x10 inches camera, he removes any reference of scale to  focus on tonal shifts and abstract shapes. In Shibata?s landscapes, there is no horizon, which totally cancels the spacial references and allows the reader to adapt his perception and permits to understand this imagery in an contemplative way.
