Find Photographs to "Decorate" Your Interior
Good news for those who love photography but find purchasing it a bit intimidating: a "marche where you can find and buy the photos you want" is returning this year after its success last year.
This photo marche brings together discerning photo galleries, offering a chance to discover emerging artists recommended by each gallery, with "hidden gems" starting from around 10,000 yen.
Furthermore, the event will feature vintage photographs, booths curated by photographers themselves, and a section for affordable photo books, making it enjoyable for even those unfamiliar with photography.
The venue will also showcase and sell award-winning works from the "Gelatin Silver Session Photo Award" held this April, allowing visitors to find photographs perfect for decorating their interiors.
