Botanical Photography Expressing a New Visual Experience

The "haptic green" series expresses a visual experience that cannot be captured by the human eye, by piecing together hundreds of plant photographs taken with different focal lengths.

The photobook "Naruki Oshima haptic green," compiling this series, was published in March this year by German publisher Kehrer Verlag. To commemorate this, an exhibition and talk events will be held in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.

A special edition with original prints, currently in production to coincide with the events, will also be unveiled. Naruki Oshima has been actively exhibiting his work both domestically and internationally in recent years. We highly recommend attending this opportunity to see his actual works.
