"Kishin Shinoyama News 2: Miwako" is a photobook by Kishin Shinoyama, one of Japan's leading photographers. Kishin Shinoyama continues to depict the "atmosphere of the times" in a variety of fields, including portraits of women such as gravure, idols, and nudes, in order to satisfy visual desires. This book is the second issue of "Kishin Shinoyama News" (4 issues published in total), published as "Kishin Shinoyama's 'report' on the era of 1994 = the present". This issue features actress Miwako Fujitani, who made her debut as a singer in the same year and became a hot topic, with a million-seller record, and is composed of Fujitani's newly taken works (black and white + color) set in local inns, shrines, village headmen, etc. At the time, Fujitani appeared on TV as a mysterious character, but while she gives off a sense of her girlishness and innocence by standing on the riverbank or riding a swing, she also shows a glamorous expression by soaking in a bathtub fully clothed. "Come to think of it, Fujitani was always making me take his pictures," Shinoyama recalls in the book, but this book gives us a glimpse into Fujitani's unique character, one that goes beyond the mysterious girl portrayed on television and that even the battle-hardened Shinoyama cannot control.
