## Career

He was one of Japan's leading film photographers, having been promoted to a cameraman as a teenager in the era of silent films and has worked on many films starring Chiezou Kataoka . He had five daughters with his wife, Yachiyoko Fujii, and lived in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City. Misako's second daughter is Shinzo Toshibe , a professor at Gifu University , and Akiko's third daughter is married to film director Umeo Minamino .

Ishimoto is in the control chamber studio, when it becomes assistant to shoulder the tripod as the first shooting assistant from the developing field, and senior pupil who becomes addicted to gambling, Teinosuke Kinugasa supervision, Ennosuke Ichikawa Noriyuki and the epic movie "Tianyi Bow of starring Iga There was an incident in which the drying negative film of "Ryo" was melted. The brothers turned blue and disappeared, leaving only the newcomer Ishimoto. Shozo Makino asked the whereabouts of his brothers, saying, "There is no point in scolding the newcomer Tonchiki," but Ishimoto did not answer stubbornly, saying only "that failure was my carelessness." .. Director Makino, who saw Ishimoto who protects his brothers and sisters, fell in love with the ticket, saying, "It's a big courage, not a tonchiki guy." I was promoted to a cameraman at once. In this way, "Tenichibo and Iga-ryu" made Ishimoto's cameraman debut .

There are many bamboo bushes near the studio in Tahata, and the bamboo bushes nearby were often used as the cheapest location. One snowy night, Ishimoto, who had finished shooting at night, turned deep blue and returned within five minutes of leaving the studio. When Hiroshi Inagaki heard the story, he said, "When I was walking along the bamboo bush beside Uzumasa Elementary School with a snowstorm, a big monster suddenly pushed the hat back from the front of the umbrella, so I was surprised to disappear and flew home." .. "It must be the work of a raccoon dog," said the dashing people who went out to exterminate the raccoon dog with a stick, but instead of the work of a raccoon dog, bamboo with snow hung down from both sides in a bow to block the road. I found out that it was. Ishimoto thought that the bamboo that had fallen in the snow jumped up was a monster. Until the beginning of the double digits of the Showa era, it is said that such a "raccoon dog incident" was spoken in the area of ​​the studio in Tahata .
