[edit] Licensing

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. 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 United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

[edit] Prefatory

This image is of a book, The Founding and Development of Modern Photography in Japan, edited by/for a 1995 exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and incorporating a photograph, Shiroi Hana ("White Flower") by Sakae Tamura. The design can be presumed to be © the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, and the photograph © the estate of Sakae Tamura.

Although the picture is subject to copyright I (Hoary) think its reproduction where relevant 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.-- Hoary 15:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use within Sakae Tamura (photographer)

The image is significant in the article on the photographer because it shows the photograph discussed within the article and demonstrates (by its selection for the cover of this cover for a catalogue of an exhibition of well over two hundred items) its significance as perceived by well-qualified curators. -- Hoary 15:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
