Cherry blossoms aren’t the only thing blossoming in Kyoto. Beginning next week, KYOTOGRAPHIE, a 3 week-long international photography festival, kicks off it’s 2nd year. A diverse mix of 13 art, fashion, and nature photographers will be showing works themed on humankind’s relationship with the environment and our planet.
What makes the festival special is that the organizers have teamed up with various venues – train stations, museums, galleries and traditional machiya – effectively taking you an a tour of Kyoto as you experience awe-inspiring art. Head over to their website, where you’ll find more information on all the events in English and Japanese.
