[KIMURA, IHEI]. アサヒカメラ.

木村伊兵衛傑作写真集. [Kimura Ihee kessaku shashinshū].
Select Pictures by Ihei Kimura.

Tokyo. 朝日新聞社. 1954. First edition. Stock ID #155500

132 black and white photographic illustrations, [vi] + [128pp], 28pp, 8 pages of advertisments, 30 x 21cm, list of plates in English and Japanese, text in Japanese only, dustjacket extremities worn, a good hardback copy.

A book representative of all facets of Kimura's work. The reproduction quality is of course no match for that in the posthumous collections, and what is interesting about this book is the material that the latter drop, for example three photographs from a (demure) striptease performance. Short captions in English as well as Japanese, longer explanations as well as texts by Kimura and Nobuo Ina in Japanese only.

A book representative of most all facets of Kimura's work. Although the reproduction quality is of course no match for that of the original photographs the images are still stunning and include many atmospheric scenes and portraits. Reflecting Japanese society in the early 1950s this collection does not include images which might have be regarded as salacious, for example, three photographs from a (demure) striptease performance.
