Scan of the front cover of 定本木村伊兵衛 (Teihon: Kimura Ihee), an anthology of the work of Kimura Ihei (Kimura Ihee) published by Asahi-Shinbunsha in 2002. Cover design presumably © Asahi Shinbunsha, incorporating a photograph presumably © the estate of Kimura Ihei. -- Hoary 13:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

This image, Kimura-ihee01.jpg, is being linked from Ihei Kimura; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hoary) think it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
2. it does not in any way limit the rights or impede the efforts of the copyright owners to claim ownership of or derive income from the book or incorporated photograph;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork in any saleable form.

The image is significant in the article because it shows a photo by Kimura that exhibits his characteristical casualness. -- Hoary 13:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Fair use //en.wiki.x.io/wiki/File:Kimura-ihee01.jpg true
