"Kioto in Photographs" de Katsuji Takasaki

From May 26 to June 29

Venue: Museo del Periodismo y las Artes Gráficas

Katsuji Takasaki, born in Tokyo on the 8 th July, 1976, is greatly in demand for commercial photography in Japan because of his great ability to see beauty and capture it in an impressive manner. He established his own company very young. The quality of his work has taken him to the United States, where he has worked several times with international Hollywood artists. Master Takasaki has specialized for seven years in photographing the Japanese cities of Kyoto and Nara, capturing the most popular sites in their best possible moment.

Kyoto is a City that has always been attractive to the world because of its cultural tradition, its refinement and gardens; it is a City of temples, museums, universities, cultural studies and research. It lodges two wonderful imperial residences and more than 400 Shinto sanctuaries and 1,650 Buddhist temples.

Kyoto was designed in the VII Century in a similar manner to China’s capital, Chang’an and in spite of the passage of time, it still keeps its narrow streets and one can find in all neighborhoods small tofu establishments, sake stores and public baths proliferate, in addition to lacquer workshops, candle-makers and fan-painters, thus converting it into one of the most beautiful and representative cities in Japan and a very important cultural and economic center of the nation.

Even if this collection is seen by people who have previously visited Kyoto, Takasaki’s work always offers something new and attractive to be explored. It is expected that with this exhibition the public will become aware of the importance culture and beauty have in Japan’s nature.
