Timeline

Ihei Kimura (木村 伊兵衛) was a Japanese photographer, known for his portrayal of Tokyo and Akita Prefecture.

1901

Born on 12 December 1901 in Shitaya-ku (now Taitō-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.

1924

He opened a photographic studio in Nippori, Tokyo in 1924.

1930

In 1930, he joined the advertising section of the soap and cosmetics company Kaō, concentrating on informal photographs made with his Leica camera.

1933

In 1933, he joined Yōnosuke Natori and others in forming the group Nippon Kōbō ("Japan workshop"), which emphasized "realism" in photography using 35mm cameras; but this rapidly broke up and Kimura formed an alternative group, Chūō Kōbō ("central workshop") with Nobuo Ina and others.

During the war, Kimura worked in Manchuria and for the publisher Tōhō-sha.

He edited Front, the propaganda photo journal of the Tōhō-sha company.

He also contributed to a propaganda magazine, Shashin Shūhō, in the same period.

1950

In 1950, Kimura was elected chairman of the newly formed Japan Professional Photographers Society (JPS); together with Ken Domon he did much to encourage a documentary spirit in amateur photography.

In the mid-fifties, Kimura made several trips to Europe, providing photographs for the camera magazines.

1955

His work was included by Edward Steichen in the world-touring 1955 MoMA exhibition The Family of Man.

1974

Pari, a collection of his color photographs of Paris, would only be published in 1974, but the use of color was ahead of its time.

On his return to Japan, Kimura concentrated on photographing rural life in Akita.

He also worked on portraits, particularly of writers.

Kimura died at his home in Nippori on 31 May 1974; the Kimura Ihei Award for new photographers was promptly set up in his honor.

2004

His work was exhibited at the Rencontres d'Arles festival in 2004.
