The apperance of “Metamorphosis of Japan after the war: 1945-1964” exhibition
|
|
(CPV) – A photography exhibition titled “Metamorphosis of Japan after the war: 1945-1964” co-organised by the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam and the Consulate-General of Japan in Ho Chi Minh City, will open from October 17 to December 22 in Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi and Da Nang cities.
The debut of the exhibition in Southeast and South Asia showcases 123 black and white photographs by 11 renowned photographers for a retrospective of the Japanese society, full of creativity and energy during the turbulent period spanning from 1945 to 1964 that followed World War II (WWII).
In 1945, Japan made a new start as a defeated and devastated country after WWII. However, in just 20 years or so, the nation’s society, economy, and culture underwent dramatic transformation.
The exhibition will define the “postwar” era as the period from the end of the war in 1945 to the year of the Tokyo Olympics, 1964, by which point the Shinkansen bullet trains were running, and a plan to double national income had raised standards of living, bringing consumer appliances such as TVs, washing machines and refrigerators to a large number of homes.
The 11 photographers’ works records the transformation of society, and many of the photographs that they took are significant from an artistic perspective in addition to being important historical records.
With their undeniable attractiveness and power, these photographs provide a starting point for thinking about the society of postwar Japan that was their background.
The exhibition will take place in Ho Chi Minh City at 92 Le Thanh Ton, District 1 from 17 – 29 October, in Hanoi from 20 – 29 November at Ngo Quyen Exhibition Hall, 16 Ngo Quyen and in Da Nang from 13 – 22 December at Da Nang Heritage Management Center, 78 Le Duan./.
