A photo book of Japanese female photographer Kimiko Ishiyama "Kimiko Ishiyama Photo Album 1984-2005". Born in 1947. After graduating from Tokyo College of Photography, worked for a magazine publishing company for fun. The magazine "Interesting Half" published here is a unique magazine whose editor-in-chief is popular writers such as Junnosuke Yoshiyuki, Takeshi Kaiko, and Shusaku Endo. After working for about 10 years, he has been active as a freelancer and has been holding solo exhibitions since the latter half of the 90's. This book is a collection of works serialized in "Nikkan Gendai" by Hiroyuki Itsuki (4th editor-in-chief of "Interesting Half"), a writer who was photographed by Ishiyama. For 21 years from 1984 when Ishiyama participated to 2005 when this book was published, 1112 photographs were posted, including the unused ones, narrowed down to about 1000 from more than 5,000 photographs. It is laid out in 5 cm square as it was posted on the paper (some double dimensions), and it is a collection of small pieces for the score, but everyday fragments taken in Japan and abroad are excellent in composition and motif, and it is said to be 5 cm square. It projects a scene unique to photography in a format that seems cramped at first glance.
