- From May 14 – May 21, Zen Foto Gallery will be showing a collaboration between Nobuyoshi Araki and young Chinese photographer Wu Chin-Chin. When I saw Zen Foto proprietor Mark last week, he was extraordinarily mum about the show, almost as a ruse to pique my interest. Maybe this press release will explain further: “the content is not suitable for people under the age of 20 or for those sensitive to explicit images of the naked human body.” Note: you must make a reservation to see the show, by emailing the gallery directly. Also, there is an entrance fee, which can be applied to Zen Foto publications. (I recommend the Liu Ke book.)
- From May 11 – May 23, Street Level Japan favorite Emi Fukuyama will hold her latest show at Street Level Japan favorite Totem Pole Photo Gallery. The preview image up on Totem Pole’s site looks great, I’m highly recommending a trip to this show.
- From now until May 29, Kenji Hosoe (son of Eikoh) is holding an exhibit at Tosei-Sha. I have to admit I didn’t know what to expect from the show, but Hosoe fils has a sharp eye for composition. I wonder where he got it from. This show is worth a look.
- From now until June 19, the Instituto Cervantes de Tokio will be showing a series of photographs taken by Jorge Luis Borges along with some of his writings. Frankly I can’t believe that this is real; Borges is the inspiration for the domain name mcvmcv.net, on which this blog is hosted. I am really looking forward to seeing this exhibit, which apparently has 130 photographs taken by Borges (although I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just stuff he found and threw together, and that would still be cool). “Un libro, cualquier libro, es para nosotros un objeto sagrado…”

Very curious about the highly confidential Araki vs Wu Chin-Chin show. Would be good to hear more about it once you have seen it!
