Sunday Morning with Iizawa Kōtarō: Five Japanese Photo Books That Made History
Sept. 22: Sunday Morning with Iizawa Kōtarō: Five Japanese Photo Books That Made History
Join eminent photo-historian and critic Iizawa Kōtarō for his take on five truly remarkable photo books from pre-war and post-war Japan. (He has a collection of approximately 5,000 photo books; you may be surprised by his selections!) Iizawa will do his best to speak in English, assisted as necessary by American journalist Alice Gordenker, who will also moderate and encourage discussion. Members of the audience are most welcome to help out and ask questions. The style of this gathering will be casual, with participants looking together at the photo books as Iizawa pulls related material off the shelves according to the group’s interests.
When: Sunday, Sept. 22, 10:00 to 11:30 am, at photo book cafe & diner Megutama Megutama in Ebisu. (Doors open at 9:45 am)
How much: 2,500 yen (1,500 yen with student I.D.) a cup of Japanese tea will be served free of charge; coffee and other drinks can be ordered off the menu at regular prices.
Optional lunch: You are welcome to stay after the talk to peruse Iizawa’s amazing collection of some 5,000 photo books from around the world. (No additional charge; order off the menu if you wish but purchase is not required) and/or join Iizawa for a healthy Japanese home-style lunch for an additional 1,500 yen. Lunch reservations are not required; you can decide when you are there.
Book now! Reservations are required for the event and can be made in English by email to megutamatokyo@gmail.com. Places are limited to keep the group small; we will start a wait list once places are full. If you must cancel, please be sure to notify us in advance so someone else can participate.

「The Best 5 Japanese Photo Books? 英語で語る日本写真集Part1 日本写真集ベスト５？」
これまで、写真集食堂めぐたまでは、５０００冊以上の写真集コレクションの中から、さまざまなテーマで写真集を読み解くトークイベントを開催してきました。
今回は新たな試みにチャレンジします。僕がその時代を代表する日本の写真集と考えている５冊を選んで、英語で解説するというものです。どれだけできるかどうかはわかりませんが、アリス・ゴーデンカーさんの助けを借りて、それぞれの写真集をなぜ選んだか、その特徴、写真家の表現意図などについてお話しします。
このイベントを通じて、日本の写真集の面白さを、日本人だけでなく外国人の方々にも知っていただきたいと思っています。ぜひ、足をお運びください。（飯沢耕太郎）
