"History of Pioneers in Japanese Photography [Kanto District]" Exhibition

Tokyo Photographic Art Museum
Finished
This exhibition is a survey of all the Bakumatsu era photography (1853-1967) from photography museum and literary institutions from all over the country. Part one will focus on the themes of "encounter", "learning" and "potential" in 150 to 200 works taken from institutions in the Kanto area, works that reflect the nature of Japanese people and modern Japan from the Bakumatsu period to the present day. Part two, which will look at works from Kyushu and Shikoku, is planned for 2009.

•Related Workshops
In conjunction with this exhibition, on March 10th, 11th and 24th, there will be workshops teaching visitors how to make albumen paper prints using egg whites, a photographic technique that was used during the Bakumatsu period.
