Ken Domon
Ken Domon (1909-1990) is one of the most renowned post-war Japanese photographers. He started his career as a photographer in 1933 when he joined Kotaro Miyauchi photo studio. In 1935, he moved to Nihon Kobo Photo Club and worked for "NIPPON", a propaganda magazine publishing during war time. Believing that documentary is the essence of photography, he continued to pursue realism in his work. He also created series of photography such as "Bunraku", "Fubo", "Murou-ji Temple", "Temple Pilgrimage", re-investigating the Japanese culture and soul.
Shadai Gallery proudly exhibits its Ken Domon Collection: over 50 works depicting Japanese history and life pre and post war. The exhibition includes Domon's most famous documentary works such as "Children in Koto", "Children in Chikuho", and "Hiroshima".
