- For readers in Tokyo, or visiting Tokyo over the next two months, I highly recommend a visit to Kurenboh, a Buddhist temple in Taito-ku with a small but very well designed photo gallery. The current exhibit is of Lee Friedlander prints, which should be recommendation enough. A reservation is required to see the gallery, but this means that when you go, you’re left by yourself to commune with Friedlander. It’s a unique and worthwhile experience.
- Here’s a preview of Jun Abe’s new book, which looks fantastic.
- OG blog Japan-Photo.info is back and running again, along with a new companion Tumblr.
- The Independent Photo Book is a sort of classified section for small photo publications. It’s interesting stuff, especially the prices. Sight unseen, who’s about to spend 55 euro on a 7×9, 24 page book? And who could say no to a book of the same length for 4 pounds including shipping?
