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.
