The Japan Foundation, Sydney, presents Tokyo Gardens, an exhibition by Japanese photographer Naoto Ijichi, at The Japan Foundation Gallery in Sydney. Tokyo Gardens takes the viewer on a visual tour of Tokyo’s gardens captured throughout the four seasons in a collection of colour and black-and-white photographs. The series features 14 gardens spanning 400 years of history, the oldest of which was built in the 17th century.

Visually, Ijichi aims to provide a historical perspective by photographing the gardens in a way that evokes the past. Through his photography he attempts to travel back as close as possible to the times these gardens were created and showcase the traditional beauty within them.
