The very first Tokyo Hyaku exhibition was held at one of the most important museums dedicated to Hiroshige Utagawa’s work. The exhibition, divided in two parts, allowed to show a selection of Tokyo Hyaku images along with the original works by Hiroshige, in order to discover Edo with Hanga and revisit Tokyo through photographs.
The second exhibition featured Tokyo Hyaku‘s images together with the reproductions of the original Hiroshige’s work, brought to life in the present day by the carvers and printers of the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints who have mastered the advanced production techniques of Ukiyo-e that have continued from the Edo period.
Tokyo Hyaku‘s images were featured during the first Fujisanten collective exhibition, organised by Startbahn. The exhibition features creators of various genres challenging the representation of “Mt. Fuji”, one of the most iconic symbols of Japan.
Tokyo Hyaku project's body of work consist of 119 photographic prints.
Tokyo Hyaku's exhibition can be split by seasons of by any recurring topic, featuring a portion of the total images.
Tokyo Hyaku can be exhibited standing alone or in parallel with original Hiroshige prints or reproductions.
