Photography of Kiyokawa Taiji: His Times and His Point of View

Overview

Painter KIYOKAWA Taiji (1919–2000) also devoted himself to photography from his university days on, snapping thousands of pictures of subjects ranging from his family to places he visited between the late 1930s and the 1960s. Always capturing his subjects with beauty and precision, his photographs form an invaluable record of people and places of the Showa era. This selection of works introduces previously unexhibited photos as well as those shown in past exhibitions at this gallery, offering a fresh opportunity to evaluate Kiyokawa’s oeuvre as a photographer.
