IG Photo Gallery is located in East Ginza, behind Kabukiza Theatre. This neighborhood once known as Kobikicho is home to several famous photo galleries. Not wishing to compete against any of the venerable galleries in the area, IG Photo Gallery was started with the wish to create a tucked-away, unassuming space. In addition to exhibitions for established photographers, it hopes to provide a place for aspiring photographers aiming to hold their first solo shows. Gallery management and exhibition direction is by photographer Kenji Takazawa, who strives to create exhibitions and events of high quality regardless of size.
