GA: Celestial Gardens

A photographer and publishing house representative, Yukio Futagawa made his debut with MINKA photographing the Japanese landscape and villages and traditional houses across the country that were already on the brink of extinction in the 1950s, which earned him overseas acclaim. Since then his activities expanded to the world; he is known for being among the best in the world at seizing and expressing the beauty and riches of contemporary architecture that he came to publish as the GA (Global Architecture) series. 

Authorized shootings of Shugakuin and Katsura Imperial Villas and Sento and Kyoto Imperial Palaces in their seasons as well as on a rare occasion under the moon were made possible by a full cooperation from the Imperial Household Agency: the collection is exclusively composed of photographs of Imperial architectures and gardens. |
