Impressions: A very complete dictionary of Japanese photography terms. The entries are organized according to subject category such as Cameras, Lenses, Photosensitive Materials, Drakroom, and Photo Technique. A convenient index of terms is also provided at the back.

Black-and-white photos and diagrams on almost every page make the terms easier to understand. Most terms are also accompanied by its English equivalent, which really helps. A definition in Japanese then follows. The dictionary was written by a committee consisting of Ueno Chizuko, Saeki Kakugoro, Sato Masaharu, Takaishi Taiji, Todoriki Kunika, and Fujita Naomichi.
