Exhibitions

March 2025 Exhibition

March 2025 Exhibition
Once Upon A Time In Tokyo (1980-2025)
Photographer: Bruce Osborn
March 1 - 28, 2025

In conjunction with his work as a photographer, Bruce has been chair of the FCCJ Exhibition Committee for more than 13 years, up until spring 2024. During that time, however, he has rarely exhibited his own work, apart from the highly-rated Oyako Matsuri (Parent and Child Festival) series which he has championed for over 20 years. In appreciation of his decade’s long, dedicated contribution to the FCCJ, we are proud to present a selection of his works, chosen from a vast array of photographs dating back to his arrival in Japan in 1980.

"In this exhibition, I present a partial record of the people and events that have passed before my lens since arriving in Japan in 1980. What future will these memories lead to, memories that still resonate like an echo? Only time will tell."
Bruce Osborn
