The National Museum, “The Museum of Nature and Man”, located in the capital of the Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous region in midwestern Russia, was founded in 1932. Six members (Yoshida Shigeru and another Samurai photo members) showed their artworks on behalf of SAMURAI FOTO in this historical museum. The exhibition under the theme of “Modern meditative landscape photography with the spirit of Japanese traditional aesthetics”, was curated by Andrey Martynov, a major figure in contemporary art. It is a great honor that the local people showed their deep interests in our artworks and we were glad to take one more step as the international exchange even in the COVID-19 situation.

We were so glad that our activities were well explained: since SAMURAI FOTO’s establishment in 2012, our ongoing activities have been our efforts of international exchange through photography. Moreover, we were happy that the local people could understand Japanese people’s thoughts and affections for nature.
SAMURAI FOTOが2012年の設立以来、作品を通して国際交流をしてきたこと、日本人は自然に対して思索的で情緒的であることが伝えられことは嬉しい限りです。
