Softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. First edition of one of the most sought-after pre‑war Japanese photographic annuals, superbly produced and documenting the leading figures of the country's modernist and documentary movements on the eve of the Pacific War. Published by Asahi Shimbun, the pre‑eminent photo‑journalistic institution of the period, the volume constitutes a key record of the creative vitality shaping Japanese photography in the late 1930s. Profusely illustrated throughout with finely printed halftone plates. Alongside emerging talents, the annual presents work by many of the era's most influential photographers, including Nakaji Yasui, Ihei Kimura, Yasuzo Nojima, Shisui Tanahashi, Kiyoshi Koishi, Gingo Hanawa, Koyo Okada, Hiroshi Hamaya, Shinzo Fukuhara, and Masao Horino—an exceptional concentration of figures associated with Shinkō Shashin (New Photography), modernist experimentation, and the rise of photojournalism in Japan. The images range from avant‑garde and surrealist‑inflected compositions to restrained street photography and atmospheric landscapes, capturing both the cosmopolitanism of urban Japan and a growing interest in ethnographic and rural subjects. The design exemplifies the refined graphic sensibility of the period, with crisp typography, disciplined layout, and printing of high technical quality that preserves tonal nuance throughout.

Cover has wear and soiling. Most of the text is in Japanese, but there is some English language narrative and photo captions. This is a photoessay on the immediate post-surrender situation in Tokyo and the initial recovery signs. During the war Kimura worked as photographic editor of magazine 'Front' which quickly renamed itself 'Company of Culture (Bunka-sha)' after the surrender. The present was it's first publication. The 'forward' is rich in metaphor: "The cause of the disease was deeper than expected and had laid hidden within the body for a long time. It was clear to anyone that this necessitated a big surgical operation. And then in the summer of 1945, a surgical operation of great proportion was effected in the presence of many witnesses. Tokyo today is still convalescent. She is still far from being called a metropolis, but has taken her first unsteady step after having undergone treatments such as continuous injections and blood tranfusions. The scars of her surgical operation is still fresh.". Black markets, GIs & Jeeps, queues, returning soldiers, cereals being grown at Nihonbashi, and scars everywhere. this is a superb document from beginning to end. Ihei Kimura (12 December 1901 - 31 May 1974) was one of the most celebrated Japanese photographers of the twentieth century, particularly known for his portrayal of Tokyo and Akita Prefecture. Born on 12 December 1901 in Shitaya-ku (now Tait -ku), Tokyo, Kimura started taking photographs when very young but his interest intensified when he was around 20 and living in Tainan, Taiwan, where he was working for a sugar wholesaler. He opened a photographic studio in Nippori, Tokyo in 1924. In 1930, he joined the advertising section of the soap and cosmetics company Ka , concentrating on informal photographs made with his Leica camera. In 1933, he joined Y nosuke Natori and others in forming the group Nippon K b ("Japan workshop"), which emphasized "realism" in photography using 35mm cameras; but this rapidly broke up and Kimura formed an alternative group, Ch K b ("central workshop") with Nobuo Ina and others. During the war, Kimura worked in Manchuria and for the publisher T h -sha. In 1950, Kimura was elected chairman of the newly formed Japan Professional Photographers Society (JPS); together with Ken Domon he did much to encourage a documentary spirit in amateur photography. In the mid-fifties, Kimura made several trips to Europe, providing photographs for the camera magazines. His work was included by Edward Steichen in the world-touring 1955 MoMA exhibition The Family of Man. Pari, a collection of his color photographs of Paris, would only be published in 1974, but the use of color was ahead of its time. On his return to Japan, Kimura concentrated on photographing rural life in Akita. He also worked on portraits, particularly of writers. Kimura died at his home in Nippori on 31 May 1974; the Kimura Ihei Award for new photographers was promptly set up in his honor. His work was exhibited at the Rencontres d'Arles festival in 2004.

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. First edition of this atmospheric photographic portrait of Ihei Kimura's Paris, presenting a remarkable series of colour photographs taken during the photographer's visit to the French capital in 1954. For many Japanese artists in the years following the Second World War, travel abroad remained difficult, and Paris - the historic centre of European art and culture - held an almost mythical allure. Kimura's long-held wish to visit the city was finally realized when he travelled there equipped with his Leica camera and newly developed Japanese colour film. During his stay Kimura encountered leading figures of French humanist photography, including Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau, while roaming the boulevards, cafés, and commercial streets of a lively post-war Paris. The images reproduced here capture the everyday drama of urban life with the spontaneity and warmth for which Kimura is celebrated. The 117 photographs gathered in this volume are notable within Kimura's body of work for their extensive use of colour. Together they evoke the distinctive charm of the "golden" Paris of the 1950s, preserving a vivid visual record of the city through the eyes of one of Japan's most influential photographers.
