High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ihei Kimura was one of the most celebrated Japanese photographers of the twentieth century, particularly known for his portrayal of Tokyo and Akita Prefecture. Born on 12 December 1901 in Shitaya-ku (now Taito-ku), Tokyo, Kimura started taking photographs when very young but his interest intensified when he was around 20 and living in Tainan, Taiwan, where he was working for a sugar wholesaler. He opened a photographic studio in Nippori, Tokyo in 1924. In 1930, he joined the advertising section of the soap and cosmetics company Kao, concentrating on informal photographs made with his Leica camera. In 1933, he joined Yonosuke Natori and others in forming the group Nippon Kobo ("Japan workshop"), which emphasized "realism" in photography using 35mm cameras; but this rapidly broke up and Kimura formed an alternative group, Chuo Kobo ("central workshop") with Nobuo Ina and others.
