Monumental Journeys

Monumental Journeys
Closing soon: Hiroshi Sugimoto: Gates of Paradise at Japan Society, New York, follows the narrative of four Japanese boys, documenting the monumental sites they visited in the 16th century. This largely unknown encounter was one of the earliest between Japan and the West, and the images on display powerfully navigate the germination of cultural exchange.
 
Until 7 January. Find out more: www.japansociety.org.
