Journey to China(Reprint) Ihei Kimura

A reprint of Journey to China, which gathers photographs made by Ihei Kimura (1901-1974), renowned as a master of the snapshot, during two visits to China in the 1960s (Seisodo). Leica in hand, Kimura lightly scoops up natural, fleeting moments of people — markets, street corners, the faces of children — in a book that distills the essence of his art. It is also a precious record of everyday China on the eve of the Cultural Revolution, set down with a warm and intimate gaze. A reprint that revives for the present one of the signature works of the photographer who established modern Japanese snapshot photography.
