Osamu Wataya Photo Exhibition at Rat Hole Gallery

Dedicated to the display of photography, Rat Hole Gallery has in the last 12 months held exhibition of such re-known photographers as Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Boris Mikhailov and others. Tuesday night saw the opening of an exhibition by a younger Japanese photographer, Osamu Wataya. His photojournalistic works bring to mind Daido Moriyama’s street photography and the uncanny and disturbing subjects of Diane Arbus’ work.
