In 1938, he helped found the Seinen Hodo Shashin Kenkyukai (Youth Reportage Photography Research Association), which was formed with the support of Photo Times.[1][2]

Fujimoto's works are in the permanent collection of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.[3]

Iida City Museum runs a photographic contest, Fujimoto Shihachi Shashin Bunka-shō (藤本四八写真文化賞), in his honour.[4]
