kimura ihei (12 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Ex- library copy with stamps and stickers.

First edition. 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.

The Japanese project was launched with the full cooperation of the Army and Navy, and issued in 15 languages in total. Issues No. 5-6, however, were only published in four languages.
