The gazes of young people, commuters, drunken revelers, signboards, Jizo statues, back alleys, construction sites, posters, windowpanes—countless fragments hidden in the urban everyday are captured with keen observation and excellent snapshot technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"244\" data-end=\"400\"\u003eThe characteristic of this book is that, unlike the styles of Daido Moriyama and Takuma Nakahira, which emphasize the photographer's strong subjectivity, the hustle and bustle of the city itself and the presence of people naturally emerge. Motoki Irisawa, an editor from Bijutsu Shuppan-sha, also points out that Uchibori's photographs show the strong presence of the subjects themselves rather than the \"will to press the shutter.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"489\"\u003eWhat is depicted are not special events.
