In anticipation of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo (now pushed back to 2021), The Japan Foundation organized a photography exhibition celebrating the country. The agency, whose mission is “promoting international understanding through cultural exchange,” curated 81 images from the 1930s-40s juxtaposed with photos taken after 2010. The show has traveled to Canada, Mexico and Brazil and is now in Louisville. The “before” group of the 1930s-40s are by KOGA (Light Pictures), NIPPON and Kineo Kuwabara. The “after” images were shot by Nobuyoshi Araki, Mika Ninagawa, Motoyuki Daifu, SATO Shintaro, Shinya Arimoto, Natsumi Hayashi, Kenta Cobayashi and Daido Moriyama.
