For those into Japanese culture, Getty has a new exhibit for you from four photographers on Japan's most well known city, Tokyo.
In Focus: Tokyo
Date: Daily, August 5 - December 14, 2014,
Location: West Pavilion, Lower Level, Getty Center
Admission: Free
Although a kaleidoscopic vision would seem to be required to
represent the hyperreal megalopolis of Tokyo, the four Japanese
photographers in this exhibition have found a way to portray their city
at a human scale. Mikiko Hara adopts a quiet, daylit, snapshot style for
spontaneous portraits of her young contemporaries; Daido Moriyama
haunts the burgeoning neighborhood of Shinjuku for fragments of
nightlife; Shigeichi Nagano observes the interactions of community
within a perpetually rebuilt environment; and Masato Seto focuses on the
hard-won leisure of local couples escaping the cramped quarters of
high-rise living.
