Three books jointly awarded the ihei kimura prize. In 2001, Rinko Kawauchi released these three books simultaneously, earning her the 27th Ihei Kimura Prize. Kawauchi makes deceptively simple photographs of passing moments tinged with a sense of loss. Kishin Shinoyama, a judge of the Kimura prize said of her work, 'anyone who thinks her photos are designed to have a healing effect or produce some degree of happiness, which is trendy now, is making a big mistake. Her pictures are fearful. They are cruel and erotic.' After winning the Ihei Kimura Prize, the publisher printed a new band mentioning the award.
