Featuring famous works from before and after the war as well as previously unpublished and unknown photographs, Teihon is the definitive collection of a master photographer whose works have been hard to obtain. The streets and the people of Japan’s Showa period come back to life in Kimura’s photos. A must-have item for fans, collectors and libraries, with a detailed chronological record [in Japanese] and location information for each photograph.
