- Curator's comments
- This is the first book to contain images by Kimura Ihei. The booklet contains the text of a lecture given by Mr. Tsutomu Ema at the Peer's Club in Tokyo: He gives a brief outline of the changing customs and costumes throughout Japanese history. The lecture was illustrated by actors dressing in historical costumes of each period and it is these scenes that Kimura photographed. (Titus Boeder, 4/2007)
