Photographer.Kota TokaibayashiKota Tokaibayashi will hold a solo exhibition. In his solo exhibition, entitled "Beautiful," Kota Tokaibayashi has come up with an answer to the question, "What is beauty?
He tells the story in this way:" . For me, beauty is not something that can be defined . It is something that is completely uncontrollable, and it depends a lot on the light of the day, my emotions, and so on."
"I could only find 'something' in my daily life that appealed to my emotions. The photos I took in my bedroom, living room, in the car on the way to work, on a walk in the neighborhood, and other everyday scenes that I was tired of seeing and remembering, are now 'Beautiful' to me."
Grass and flowers, for example, do not have the artifice of trying to be beautiful. They have only functional colors and shapes. Beauty may lie beyond any kind of intention or thought. The everyday scenes he captures remind us of this.
The exhibition will be held from Saturday, April 1 to Friday, April 7 . A fully made-to-order photo book will also be available, so why not visit the exhibition during the brief season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and covering the sky?
