Something a little different from our normal news - in June, Japan House in London hosts its first photography exhibition: Invisible, featureing two of the most significant Japanese photographers working today: Kawada Kikuji and Iwane Ai.
Kawada Kikuji, presents a selected survey of his works from the 1950s to today, including his seminal series Chizu (The Map, 1965).
Iwane Ai shows A New River (2020), her series taken in the Tōhoku region during the COVID-19 pandemic, featuring cherry blossoms at night and figures from Japanese folk traditions, alongside Kipuka (2018), a series exploring Japanese immigrant communities in Hawaii.
More details available on the Japan House website.
