Tsutomu Kojima was born in 1968. In 1987, he began doing retouching work using a Scitex Prepress Workstation at TOPPAN Inc. Since 2000, he has been working as a printing director for art print production (“Primagraphie”) using inkjet printing.
He is engaged in printing for a variety of genres such as illustration, photography, and cultural assets. He has an established reputation in the photography industry and is often hand-selected by photographers for his high quality work. He has a deep understanding of paper and color management and is also active in sharing that knowledge and his passion for creation through various seminars and workshops.
The works shown above are excerpts from “Miura Hiroshima”, a photo book by Hiroshi Miura, for which Tsutomu Kojima served as the printing director. The book is published by Shogakukan.
“Miura Hiroshima” is an ongoing photographic project that began in 2014, reflecting on the photographer’s hometown of Hiroshima. While capturing the present reality of the city with a history tied to its impact from the atomic bomb, the photographs also portray the everyday lives of its people with vitality and, at times, a pop sensibility, offering an honest and human perspective on life in Hiroshima today.
In 2025, marking 80 years since the atomic bombing, “Miura Hiroshima” was published as a photo book featuring 108 carefully selected images from the vast archive accumulated over the past 11 years. Photography exhibitions were held at multiple venues in Hiroshima and Tokyo. Mr. Kojima was also involved in producing the exhibition prints.

“As for why I have continued using ColorEdge for so long, perhaps it’s simply because ColorEdge has always been there for me. Joking aside, color management is fundamental to my work, and ColorEdge is the only monitor that consistently delivers results exactly as intended.”
