A collection of works by Kishin Shinoyama, one of Japan's leading post-war photographers, "Kinsin's cover photo studio 1978-88 / Cover Girls 414 On Shukan Asahi". This book contains all the works by Kishin Shinoyama who decorated the cover of the magazine "Weekly Asahi". From the April 7, 1978 issue to the May 27, 1988 issue, there were a total of 491 plates. The number of points and models is 414. At first glance, it looks like an idol's portrait book, but when you meet together and look at the picture, you capture the subject in a snapshot-like manner with a natural appearance, the beauty and kindness that you bring out from the inside, At times, it is noticed that the inside of each person, such as sadness, is beautifully shown. Shinoyama said at the photo exhibition that took place with this work. "That is, this photo exhibition is a Japanese document with a face on the cover at the end of the century." Although the style is different, this kind of documentary is similar to "Sunny Day", and it is "Showa Documentary" by Sasayama. It is a simple and orthodox book, but it is a book that touches on the splendor of Sasayama's work, which is based on a solid concept and technology.
