Artist Kichijomaru Shimamura
The first collection of works compiled from a 10-year record　

In addition to staying in the field as an artist and photographer, he crosses the field and collaborates with various artists to plan and curate as a director of the same galley in Tokyo and koen in Kyoto, and produces Ramen Kichijomaru and the fragrance brand "kibn". Kichijomaru Shimamura continues to engage in dialogue with people, things, and the world through photography.

Shimamura's first photo book, "What is good?", contains about 200 pieces selected for his career in the past 10 years, when he traveled around the world, including Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Laos, New York, Portland, and more.

――Why do I take pictures?

For me, the picture is
Words for dialogue with people and this world.

The picture is to breathe.
To be honest, why did you take that moment?
There are things that I can't explain or I don't remember.

But every moment is sure
I think it was "good" for me.

It is both absolute and relative.
It is both universal and personal.
