Over its history the Japan Camera Industry Institute has amassed an incredible collection of prints by Japanese photographers. This exhibition presents 140 silver gelatin prints across two galleries in the JCII building and features photographs by Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Issei Suda, Mitsugu Ohnishi, Kishin Shinoyama, Hiroh Kikai, Hiromi Tsuchida, Kazuo Kitai, Yurie Nagashima, Osamu Kanemura- - and so. many. more.
It’s the kind of show that international museums would have loved to share with their cities- this being Tokyo, and it being a cold rainy December Saturday when I stopped by, I was the only person in the place.
