Kuniko Kato “The Shrine Grove Vol. 2”

Osaka Nikon Salon

This event has ended.

Kuniko Kato recalls the Fukui earthquake of 1948 that she experienced with her family, and the typhoons and heavy rain that come almost every year. The shocks of subsequent natural disasters such as the Great Hanshin Earthquake and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami weighed heavy on Kato, yet these memories themselves become replaced by other newer memories.
Forty-one black and white photographs of shrines off the beaten path in Shiga Prefecture reflect on the long history of ties between people and gods.
