Chotoku Tanaka

Zen Foto Gallery is pleased to present “Today Tokyo” from Thursday, April 28 to Saturday, May 28. This is Chotoku Tanaka’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, organized to celebrate the publication of the photobook under the same title, and this is the second book Zen Foto has published with Tanaka, after “Panoramic Photography — Europe 1975” in 2020. Tanaka, who received his first SLR camera when he was in elementary school, found Tokyo a captivating subject to photograph around the 1960s and 1970s. It was exactly when a series of epoch-making events were happening in the city during the rapid economic growth in Japan. Since then, Tanaka continued to nimbly capture the streets of Tokyo with its contrast of light and shadow as well as ordinary and extraordinary life with his unique perspective. This exhibition features a selection of 30 photos from his early work included in the photobook.
