"Tohoku (the largest island in the Japanese Archipelago)" Through the Eyes of Japanese Photographers at The Japan Foundation, 5A Ring Road, Lajpat Nagar IV > 14th January-16th February 2013
Time : 11:00 am - 7:00 pm (closed on Sunday and public holiday)
Entry : Free
Event Description : 'Tohoku (the largest island in the Japanese Archipelago)' Through the Eyes of Japanese Photographers.
Tohoku is the northeastern section of Honshu, the largest island in the Japanese Archipelago. Although it has a rather cold climate, it is blessed with a beautiful and bountiful natural environment of seas, mountains, rivers, and forests. It is also known as a center of the Jomon culture, which was developed by some of the first people living in Japan.
On March 11, 2011 an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 struck Japan, and the worst damage was concentrated in the Tohoku region. It left 20,000 people dead or missing and caused the unprecedented nuclear accident at No. 1 Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The media coverage of the destruction made many people familiar with the names of Tohoku cities and prefectures, but few are likely to have a broad knowledge of other aspects of the region - its climate, natural and cultural environment, history, way of life, or people.
This exhibition is composed of photographs of the Tohoku taken by nine individual photographers and one photographers’ group. These photographs represent the varied faces of Tohoku, and we hope that this relatively unknown region will be rendered more familiar by the brilliant artistic expression of these marvellous Japanese photographers.
