At the end of the book, "Photographs of people / Ihei Kimura", "Composition and lighting of still objects / Nakaji Yasui", "Light and its tone / Shinzo Fukuhara", "Photographs of still objects / Kiyoshi Nishiyama", "Appearance of new photography techniques / Nakaji Yasui", etc. It also contains articles by well-known photographers (including some plates). The editor of this book was Tatsuo Hoshino, who succeeded Reikawa Narizawa and edited it for more than 10 years from the early days of Asahi Graph. Under the pseudonym "Tatsuo Hoshino", he was a translator of the famous adventure and detective novel "Arsène Lupine" written by Maurice Leblanc. The so-called Photo Yearbook has become a beautiful work of art like this book because it is edited by Hoshino, who has a background of graduating from a foreign language university and working at the Ministry of Education and is familiar with foreign cultures and sensibilities.
