Hanoi | Vietnam-Japan photography exhibition

In celebration of the Japan – Vietnam Friendship Year 2013, the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam, in cooperation with Nanarokusha Publishing Inc., proudly presents the photography exhibition “Mirai-chan: A little girl with chubby red cheeks” by Kotori Kawashima in Hanoi from Sunday 18 August to Sunday 15 September 2013.

A Japanese promising photographer Kotori Kawashima has shot a photography series “Mirai-chan”, through a year, containing portraits of the daughter of his friend in Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture in the northern central region of Japan.

Being on the cover of a legendary famous arts and culture magazine “BRUTUS” triggered a big sensation in Japan and “Mirai-chan” became the talk of the town as a super adorable girl who conveys the vitality and energy of life. The photography book “Mirai-chan” has been sold exceptionally well, with over 100,000 copies since March 2011.

The photography exhibition “Mirai-chan” has been also warmly received in several cities including Tokyo and Osaka in Japan, and was invited to Thailand and Taiwan. Vietnam is the third foreign country who hosts this charming exhibition.
