Description from the seller

"Toshiya Kimura is a Japanese photographer born in Tokyo. While studying at the Department of Photography at Nihon University College of Art, he joined the advertising production company Kaburagi Studio (now Amana), where he gained experience in various genres including product photography, models, food, interiors, and jewelry. After leaving the company to focus on portrait photography, he worked as an assistant to Masao Ono, and later trained under photographer Tadayasu Ozawa through an introduction by publisher Iwata. He has published over 150 photobooks and visual works, primarily focusing on female idols such as Haruka Ayase. His notable works include ""Aya Ueto,"" ""Haruka Ayase,"" ""AKB48,"" and the ""Kimura Camera"" trilogy published by Takeshobo.


The item shows significant damage, such as missing or detached pages. Please review the photos carefully before bidding.


Shipping Information and Important Notes

I ship via Japan Post or Yamato Transport.
The “combined shipping” option is not enabled, and shipping fees apply to each lot individually. In practice, multiple lots may be shipped together in one package, but the shipping charges will still be applied per lot.

For shipments to Italy
Based on past experience, deliveries to Italy often take longer than usual. If you are bidding from Italy, please kindly take this into consideration before placing your bid.

Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your local customs office to confirm any additional costs before bidding or buying."
