KYOTOGRAPHIE

KYOTOGRAPHIE, held annually in the historic city of Kyoto, stands out as a truly international artistic event in Japan, showcasing photography exhibitions in both elegant, traditional settings and modern architectural spaces. With a focus on honouring Kyoto’s rich history while embracing global culture, the festival presents a diverse range of works by renowned artists, traditional artisans, and cutting-edge technologists. Following the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, KYOTOGRAPHIE emerged as a vital platform for fostering communication and cultural exchange, bridging Japan’s legendary camera and printing technology with the international art scene. Supported by various entities, including corporations, organisations, and governments, the festival aims to elevate Japanese photographers while addressing universal issues through the lens of photography. By nurturing connections between Japan and the world, particularly through the involvement of young people, KYOTOGRAPHIE continues to evolve and innovate, blending tradition with modernity to create a unique and impactful cultural experience.
