Imai: Soft Film Like Monochrome Fujifilm Recipe

Imai Fujifilm Film Recipe

My original X100, signed by Masazumi Imai

I have named this Fujifilm Recipe after Masazumi Imai.

According to iF Design, Masazumi Imai is a design manager in product design for the X/GFX series of digital cameras at Fujifilm Corporation. After graduating from Tama Art University, he started his career designing film cameras, binoculars, and small printers. In 2002, he joined Fujifilm Corporation. Beginning with the first generation "X100", which he designed and released in 2011, he was significantly involved in the "X/GFX series", winning over 100 international design awards in the following ten years.

I consider Masazumi San a friend and have met him several times in Tokyo. At one of our last meetings, he kindly signed my original Fujifilm X100, which I will always treasure.
