Description
[Machine Translation] In the 1950s, Japan was usually seen only in black and white, but there was a man who documented the country with color photographs. He is J. Wally Higgins, the original "color photographer" who was born in the U.S. and loves Japan and Japanese railroads. After coming to Japan as a member of the U.S. military stationed in Japan, he became an advisor to the Japanese National Railways. He visited all parts of Japan and took many photographs of Japanese landscapes with color film, which was extremely luxurious at that time, mainly for his hobby of railroad photography. From among 6,000 of the finest Kodachrome photographs that have not faded away after more than half a century, this exhibition presents 382 selected photographs, along with reminiscences of those days. The numerous landscape portraits, full of a sense of life captured in railroad photographs, record the drastic changes in Tokyo before the Tokyo Olympics, as well as nostalgic scenes of local towns and people that have now been lost.
