Re: Japanese Aircraft Carriers Book

Naval Institute Press to Republish Kure Maritime Museum Photo Books on Japanese Warships

Aircraft Carriers and Seaplane Carriers: Selected Photos from the Archives of the Kure Maritime Museum

The Best from the Collection of Shizuo Fukui's Photos of Japanese Warships
(The Japanese Naval Warship Photo Albums)
(Naval Institute Press – October 1, 2019)
by Kure Maritime Museum (Editor)
236 pages - hardcover

"The Naval Institute Press will publish the much sought after six volumes of the Kure Maritime Museum's The Japanese Naval Warship Photo Album series. Originally published in Japan in 2005, each album contains photographs officially taken by the Kure Maritime Museum, as well as those taken by private individuals. These pictorial records document the main types of Japanese vessels, from battleships to submarines, based on the best images from Shizuo Fukui, a former Imperial Japanese Navy commander and technician. These photos include the ones Fukui began collecting as a young boy and continued after he worked as a naval shipbuilder, and those that he was given in order to complete a photographic history of the Imperial Japanese Navy's ships, which include those gathered by Nagamura Kiyoshi, a shipbuilder, who among naval engineers especially loved ships and proactively collected photos and the collection of machinist Amari Yoshiyuki. Moreover, with the help of shipbuilder Makino Shigeru among others, Fukui was able to continue to gather photographs and other items throughout the postwar period. It is not an exaggeration, therefore, to say that Fukui dedicated his entire life to this work. These images are especially valuable because of the massive destruction of official documents at the end of the war."
