Yoshikazu Shirakawa

Yoshikazu Shirakawa (1935-2022), a photographer from Shikokuchuo City, Ehime Prefecture, has long exhibited his photographs of the majestic natural beauty of various regions of the world. This exhibition is the culmination of all 12 of his series, "The Alps," "The Himalayas," "The Americas," "The Bible," "China," "The Original Landscape of the Gods," "The Introduction of Buddhism," "Antarctica," "The World's 100 Great Mountains," "The World's 100 Great Waterfalls," and "Eternal Japan," and the final series, "Creation," which is also the last in this exhibition. The exhibition features 196 works selected by the artist himself from the photographs he took over about 50 years, including the recently noted scenic spot "The Wave" in the U.S., Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, and other works from his last year of life.
