Artists

Sanjiro Minamikawa
Sanjiro Minamikawa is a photographer who befriended Surrealist masters such as Miro, Chagall, and Dali, and took portraits of them in their studios. Also, he was the first person to photograph the Chateau de Versailles in its entirety. Throughout his career, he has kept his focus on European culture.
When he was completing his shooting of the Camino de Santiago, the pilgrimage route between France and Spain in 2004, he heard that the "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range" was to be added to the World Heritage List. This inspired him to go back to Japan and face Japanese culture and natural environment.
The beauty of the Japanese landscape and the spiritual quality of Buddhist statues from the Kamakura period inspired Minamigawa, and he spent three years in the mountains capturing these moments in his large format photographs. The wonders of Camino de Santiago and the Kii Mountain Range, two sacred paths built in the same era but on the opposite sides of the earth, are now revealed in his fourth exhibition at Wako Hall.
