There are photographs exhibited there, with a little mean viewpoint by exposing the real intention. The objects are general people living in Japan whom a photographer , Kura met and took a picture on the way from Nihonbashi, Tokyo to Ise Jingu Shrine , Mie. The people who do not consider being taken a picture, deviate from the ideal, and show a little stupid natural style on it. They make me recall someone I saw somewhere before. I am also attracted with the gaze of the artist who watches them severely without colluding. If going to this exhibition with someone, it won’t suit for the sake of friendship. It is the kind of exhibition to go with a close friend whom you can speak and laugh in a self‐torment viewpoint.
