As the title shows, the special issue of Asahi Camera in December 1979, featuring the global photographer “Kimura Ihei” representing the pre-war period. There are illustrations and texts by Koji Taki, Kishin Shinoyama, Shiroyasu Suzuki, Kaoru Oshima, and a special feature called “Ie Kimura for me” at the end of the book. The Photographers who were active on the front lines such as Higashimatsu Lighting, Daido Moriyama, Yutaka Takanashi, Yoshinobu Jumonji, Kazuo Kitai, chose what they like from the works of Kihei Imura, and commented on it. It is interesting that each individuality is reflected in the selection in an easy-to-understand manner. An excerpt from Ryoji Akiyama's comment, “Kimura-san's photo is a photo that you ca n’t choose like this one. I think there is Kimura Ihei as a whole, especially when looking at portraits, I feel that I was a happy person in two or three times.
