T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL TOKYO is outdoor international photo festival. The main setting is located in the Yaesu/Nihonbashi/Kyobashi area in the center of Tokyo. This area is very much considered a business district, but if you look at its history, you can see a different landscape. In the Edo Period, painters of the Kano school and renowned artist Hiroshige Utagawa lived in this castle town, where Edo-style kabuki originated. Through the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras, many persons of culture visited this district frequently. For that reason, there are long-established shops and more than 150 antique dealers and art galleries in this area that have inherited this history. This year’s exhibition by over 20 artists, the largest number ever, offers a huge exhibit covering a building wall, an installation that leverages urban space, hands-on artwork, and other exhibits that cannot be seen anywhere else. Enjoy encounters with these works while exploring the district.
