Early life
Nojima began studying at Keio University in 1906, and began taking photographs two years later.
Photographic career
From 1915 to 1920 he ran a gallery, the Misaka Photo Shop, where he had his first solo exhibition in 1920. Around that same time he opened the Kabutoya Gado gallery, which was connected to the shirakaba-ha literary movement. Nojima later operated several other studios, such as the Nonomiya Photography Studio, and Nojima Tei, which was a salon based in his house.[3]
He became a member of the Japan Photographic Society in 1928.[3]
In 1984 Nojima was posthumously inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum.[4]
