ZOKUSHIN / Gods of the Earth

ZOKUSHIN heralded the arrival of Hiromi Tsuchida as one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, earning widespread acclaim. This exhibition features approximately 30 gelatin silver prints selected from this series, in which Tsuchida documented folk cultural practices across Japan from 1968 to 1975. Even today, nearly 50 years after its release, the world of folk deities he captured remains vivid and continues to elicit many questions for viewers.
