Yasutaka Kojima

Benrido is pleased to present “Naka-Ima | Berlin”, a series of photographs by Yasutaka Kojima, the 9th Grand Prize winner of the Hariban Award International Collotype Competition. Based in Berlin, Kojima overlaps the atmosphere and sense of time there with the ancient Shinto concept “Naka-Ima”. The landscapes that Kojima delicately captured while confronting the ever-changing urban landscape are elevated to a higher level by its fusion with collotype. The exhibition will be held in Ōbai-in, Daitoku-ji, and its historical garden and tea room will remind us of the present as a privileged moment in eternity. The exhibition is designed to invite the viewer into a moment of eternity while the stories quietly but powerfully unfold.
