Exhibition Collection
Kyotographie: Kawada Kikuji x Iwane Ai presents the work of two of the most significant Japanese photographers working today: Kawada Kikuji (b. 1933) and Iwane Ai (b. 1975). Kawada’s diverse and prolific body of work is often interpreted as an evolving reflection on Japan’s identity in the years following World War II. Iwane, who was born in Tokyo and attended high school in the United States, creates work that is frequently transnational in scope, including the award-winning series Kipuka (2018), which explores the lives of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii.
This collection celebrates Japan House London’s first photography exhibition through publications exploring Japanese photography, including Traces by Ishiuchi Miyako and Record by Moriyama Daidō. It also features tools for organizing and compiling photographs, such as photo files by Traveler’s Company and washi (Japanese paper) tape by mt.
