Toshio Yamane
BiographyToshio Yamane (山根 敏郎, born 1953) is a Japanese photographer known for his depictions of the juxtaposition of man-made structures on natural topography. Much of Yamane’s work concentrated on a landfill project for Tokyo harbor that spurred the construction of several aquariums and indoor simulations of seaside environments.
Yamane's photographs were exhibited with those by Yūji Saiga, Naoya Hatakeyama and Norio Kobayashi in an exhibition, Land of Paradox, that travelled around the US in 1996–97.
