Two photographers with powerful stories come together at Kensington's Japan House. Kawada Kikuji is best known for his series examining the scars of Japan's postwar period, which is presented alongside his more recent works capturing celestial phenomena. Iwane Ai, meanwhile, has produced a series exploring the lives of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii, alongside images capturing Japan's cherry blossoms during the Covid crisis, in eerie nighttime settings, and populated with characters from Japanese folk traditions.
