KPC Profile Series 2, a collection of works by Japanese photographer Masujiro Shinoda, entitled Onna no Katachi - Shape of a Woman - The Works of Masujiro Shinoda. An amateur photographer, Masujiro Shinoda was a member of the Kaito no Hana Photographers Club (K.P.C.), a photography club chaired by Komaro Hoshino and advised by Shotaro Akiyama, where he hired models at the Fashion Model Club in Ginza at the time to study outdoor portraiture and nudes. This is a collection of works published by that club, consisting of images with female models. Above all, the deep gravure printing characteristic of this period is attractive. The cut-offs also have a great impact. As well as the illustrations, the layout and book design are also excellent.
