The Ibasho Gallery in Antwerp dedicates a group exhibition to the first fall of snow: ‘Hatsuyuki’ is on display from December 7, 2019 to January 12, 2020.

In Japanese culture, traditional festivals tend to be rooted in the ebb and flow of nature. In the same vein, many of the country’s inhabitants are inspired by the changing seasons to write poetry or create works of art. The Ibasho Gallery in Antwerp celebrates the arrival of winter with the group exhibition ‘Hatsuyuki’ (First Snow), in which 17 Japanese and five Western photographers present their visions of a world draped in alabaster hues.

The showcase encompasses works by Albarrán Cabrera, Werner Bischof, Yukari Chikura, Arnold Genthe, Hiroshi Hamaya, Tadahiko Hayashi, Mika Horie, Hideyuki Ishibashi, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Keiichi Ito, Nobuyuki Kobayashi, Margaret Lansink, Yoichi Midorikawa, Asako Narahashi, Kyoshi Niiyama, Yoshinori Saito, Toshio Shibata, Chris Steele-Perkins, Issei Suda, Sudi, Yoshihiro Tatsuki, and Toshiya Watanabe.

The vernissage takes place on December 7th, 2019 from 2 to 6 pm.
