A Photo Exhibition
“Asian Kids ! Ordinary days of children in ASEAN countries”
by Tsutomu Togashi
It is our great pleasure to present a photo exhibition entitled “Asian Kids ! Ordinary days of children in ASEAN countries” by a Japanese photographer, Mr. Tsutomu Togashi.
Mr. Togashi has been interested for a long time in Asian countries and has taken many photos in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and other countries in this region. In 2005 he was commissioned by the ASEAN-Japan Centre in Tokyo to take photos for their website, one of which featured sections to introduce children’s lives in ASEAN countries. He visited all of the ASEAN countries and took thousands of photos of children living there.
At this exhibition more than 60 photos will be shown, which have been carefully selected and can be said to be the essence of a numerous number of photos he has taken in this mission. This exhibition will provide an enjoyable window from which visitors have a rare chance to view ordinary life of children in those ten countries at the same time.
We extend a warm welcome to all visitors and hope you will enjoy this unique exhibition.
