2026年6月13日（土）〜6月14日（日）に六本木AXIS Galleryで開催されました、日本文藝写真展「The Monochrome」無事終了いたしました。
ご来場いただき、どうもありがとうございます。
梅雨の晴れ間にご来場いただいたゲストの皆様、お会いできたフォトグラファーの皆様、短い時間ではありましたがお話できてとても嬉しかったです。
日本文藝のみなさま、親切なご対応をどうもありがとうございます。
かねてより憧れの場所でもありました六本木AXIS Galleryでの開催ということもあり、ずっと楽しみにしておりました。
実際在廊中ご来場者様の反応をがとてもよかったように感じ、会場の力を少しでも借りられたのではと思いました。
The Japanese art photography exhibition “The Monochrome,” held at the Roppongi AXIS Gallery from Saturday, June 13, 2026, to Sunday, June 14, 2026, has successfully concluded.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended.
To everyone who visited during a break in the rainy season, and to the photographers I had the pleasure of meeting—it was a joy to speak with you, even if only briefly.
To everyone at Nihon Bungei, thank you very much for your warm hospitality.
I had long looked forward to this exhibition at the Roppongi AXIS Gallery, a venue I had always admired.
While I was at the venue, I felt that the visitors’ reactions were very positive; perhaps the atmosphere of the venue contributed to that.
「雲上の珈琲/ Unjo no coffee」
尾道で出会ったコーヒースタンドのオーナー、ナオ船長。
爽やかな人柄と誠実な仕事ぶりに惹かれ、来訪。
貨物船の航海士だったナオさんは、船を降りてからバックパッカーとなり西へ東へ。
日本へ戻り、お店を開くにあたって尾道へ移住。
夏の時期、お店をクローズして引き続き世界を渡り歩いてる。
Captain Nao, the owner of a coffee stand I met in Onomichi.
I was drawn to his refreshing personality and sincere work ethic, so I paid him a visit.
Nao, who used to be a navigator on a cargo ship, became a backpacker after leaving the ship and traveled all over the country.
He returned to Japan and moved to Onomichi to open his shop.
During the summer, he closes the shop and continues to travel the world.
