Japan-Post Tsunami: Resilience and Strength

Please join Sous Les Etoiles Gallery for a lecture by James Whitlow Delano on the strength and resiliency of Japan. Attendees will also have a chance to view the gallery’s current exhibition, a 20-year retrospective of Delano’s photographic work in Japan (on view until January 31, 2014).

James Whitlow Delano has lived and worked in Japan for twenty years. Since he visited the city of Tokyo in spring of 1993 at a friend’s urging, Delano has become one of the most informed photographic eyes on Japanese culture. His photographs of Japan—whether capturing intimate commuter moments or the devastation after the Fukushima meltdown—present a complex picture of a society at once jaded yet naive, resilient yet vulnerable.

James Whitlow Delano, born 1960, is an American reportage photographer based in Tokyo, Japan. As one of today’s foremost photographers of Asia, his work has appeared worldwide in magazines and photo festivals, including Visa Pour L’Image, Rencontres D’Arles and Noorderlicht, and has been awarded internationally, including the Alfred Eisenstadt Award (from Columbia University and LIFE magazine), Leica’s Oskar Barnack, Picture of the Year International, NPPA, and PDN, among several others.
