Japanese Photography 1960–1970 from the Collection, which presents works that focus on the depiction of the human being and the changes in postwar Japanese society. “In this exhibition, my vigorous efforts to undertake a thorough review of our collections are bearing fruit, and so I am especially pleased that we are able to present our holdings of Japanese photography—a sizable ensemble of outstanding works—which have not been seen by the public in a long time. The show also spotlights a chapter in the history of the museum, which started collecting and conserving photography early
