Remarques & avis / Review — A great and important early work by Ihei KIMURA, with numerous pictures, from Okinawa marketplaces to dollmakers and Kimura's cherished street corners, and text with a slight technical bias (How to use / shoot etc. photobooks were very popular in the 1930s-50s, and Kimura was addicted to newest cameras), in a beautifully crafted volume. A fantastic reflection of Japan in the 1930s.

Un ouvrage tostif et important par KIMURA Ihei, avec foison de photos de sujets variés, des marchés d'Okinawa aux fabricants de poupées et aux coins de rue aimés de Kimura, et texte sous un angle / prétexte (les photobooks Comment utiliser / photographier etc. étaient très populaires dans les années 1930-50, et Kimura était un accroc des nouveaux appareils-photo et objectifs), dans un beau volume très bien fini.
