Public Talk with the Four Photographers on March 9th

The "Ryuko Syashin" exhibition presents the distinct styles of four photographers—WATARU, Shunya Arai, Katsuhide Morimoto, and Taro Mizutani—who widely engage with fashion magazines and advertising campaigns, all within a single space.

Conceived as a new proposal for fashion photography, the exhibition aims to remind viewers of photography's original purpose: to serve as a lasting "record" in an era of fleeting trends. The venue will showcase and offer for sale 80 pieces, including past archival works and new pieces created specifically for this exhibition.

Furthermore, on Saturday, March 9th, at 4:00 PM, the four featured photographers will gather for a public talk on the theme of "Ryuko Syashin".

Witness the past and present of fashion photography through the eyes of frontrunners who have shaped "now" with their cameras. Experience their power to define eras and their creativity.
