First Edition, First Printing. 10 x 14 inches. 57 pages with 44 images on a leporello style fold-out binding. Roadside Lights Seasons: Winter is a follow-up to Eiji Ohashi's critically acclaimed photographic series of vending machines along roads throughout Japan. The volume focuses exclusively on scenes taken during winter. The vending machines placed all over the country are a symbolic image of today's Japan, and their lonely, daily work is reminiscent of the modern lives of us humans. In this sense, my series is a conscious reflection of its era, but it is also an expression of my own personal aesthetic sensibilities, says Ohashi. I believe the sight of these vending machines shining brightly, all alone in the harshness of winter, evokes feelings of compassion and encouragement in us. These bright, glowing characters are mechanical machines, but they also appear strangely human, and the beautiful sceneries that surround them may even provide us a little hope.
