The Japan Foundation, Yangon (JFYG) is pleased to present “Tokyo Before/After”, a photography exhibition in Yangon.

This exhibition, created on the occasion of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, features a selection of approximately 80 works, in which works by photographers who had captured images of Tokyo in the 1930s-1940s are presented in juxtaposition with those taken after 2010.

We hope that the works of the Japanese photographers in this exhibition, through their specific imagery, will serve to encourage a deeper understanding of Tokyo as a vast city of many different faces.

The exhibition will be held at Gallery Ohmar from May 17 to 30 (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). We will share another announcement soon for the opening event, so please stay tuned!

Japanese language schools and organizations wishing to visit this exhibition organized by The Japan Foundation, Yangon in collaboration with Gallery Ohmar are kindly requested to contact The Japan Foundation, Yangon in advance to arrange a complimentary group visit. No pre-registration form is required.
