A Photography Exhibition by Shintaro Yoshikawa at Kyodo News Headquarters, Tokyo
TOKYO, JAPAN, March 17, 2025 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- Haikaraya proudly presents "Live Passenger – Inhabit the Moment," a photography exhibition by Shintaro Yoshikawa, capturing the lives, landscapes, and fleeting encounters on the island of Shodoshima, Japan. The exhibition will take place from March 7 to March 28, 2025, at Kyodo News Headquarters, Shiodome Media Tower, Tokyo.
Following the 2023 exhibition "CATS MOMENT OF TRUTH", which explored the profound connection between rescue cats and humans, this marks the second exhibition by Yoshikawa at Kyodo News Gallery Walk.
About the Exhibition
Shodoshima, a serene island in the Seto Inland Sea, is known for its deep cultural heritage and as the setting of the classic Japanese film "Twenty-Four Eyes." Here, time flows gently, carrying the aroma of soy sauce breweries and the echoes of the past.
However, this exhibition does not dwell on nostalgia. "Live Passenger – Inhabit the Moment" shifts the focus to those who live the present—residents, travelers, and those who briefly pass through the island, each leaving behind fragments of their journey.
Through his lens, Shintaro Yoshikawa captures these fleeting yet profound encounters—the quiet dignity in a fisherman’s gaze, the wisdom reflected in an elder’s hands, the transient beauty of a traveler pausing before the sea. Each photograph is a testament to the impermanence of life and the resilience of human existence.
Message from the Photographer
"Time does not wait. We are all travelers in its flow—never truly still, always moving forward. The people captured in these images are not merely subjects; they are living stories, moments that, though brief, are deeply significant."
"Through this exhibition, I hope to awaken a sense of timeless connection. As you gaze into these photographs, you may find echoes of your own memories, fragments of a journey you have yet to take."
"To all who continue their journey through life, I dedicate this exhibition."
— Shintaro Yoshikawa
