Nakamura spent his entire professional career working for Shisheido. In the beginning of the 1970s he created a revolution in cosmetic advertising by using close-ups of faces and fingers in situations that always tell a story, dramatic or mysterious, thereby building a strong and unique identity for the company. This classic image is for "Kyo Beni" lipstick and the text reads "sensuous lips, enchanting charm."
