Hello there!

How are you all?
Hope that you all are well!
Spring
is coming slowly here in Japan now!!
Last month, my solo show "A STRING OF MEMORIES
- Recalling Phantom
Lights" was held at Gallery Tosei in
Tokyo, Japan.
There were lots of visitors and I was very happy to meet with all
of YOU who came to see the show! Thank you all!
I was reviewing portfolios
during some afternoons
of the show. I really enjoyed reviewing all of the works by 22 photographers!
Thank you very much for your participation!
I
would like to say THANKS a lot to
Mr. Kunihiro Takahashi, the president of Gallery
Tosei. Also, many thanks to Ms. Yumiko Tanaka
and Ms. Kaori Kuwazawa, the staff of the gallery.
I will update a photo report about the show next time, so please look

Hello there!
Thanks for visiting my web!
Here, I’m
back to YOU! How have you been? I'm well in Belgium and have been
working on a photo project for a long time!
Well, this winter was so cold and so long, but it's getting warmer
and spring seems to be closer now, and I hear some birds have started
singing in the early mornings and evenings. I hope that your city
has better weather than last month!
Since I haven't
updated my NEWS for a while, I have lots of NEWS
for you this time! It's kind of good, isn't it?
The first NEWS is...
I would like to announce about some of my selected solo shows this
year!;
4 solo shows in total are palnned this year so far - this
spring, 2 shows will be held in Japan (Tokyo
in April, and Kobe in May - June), and then another
show is planned to be held in Czech (Prague
in October), and lastly, another show will be followed- in Switzerland
(Oberwil in November - December). Hope to see YOU
some of these shows this year!
Well, I'm preparing to visit Japan for the first 2 shows right now,
and first of all, here are the details for the show in Tokyo;

Thanks!
"Portfolio
review event with Reiko Imoto"
is also planned to be held at
Gallery Tosei in April, so please contact the gallery
for the details if you are interested. Thanks!
Gallery Tosei is a wonderful photo gallery with a book publisher,
and the gallery is especially for Silver Gelatin Prints. It will be
my second time to have a show at Gallery Tosei since
2008. This upcoming show "A STRING OF MEMORIES
- Recalling Phantom
Lights (KIOKU
no KINSEN ~ Soukisuru Maboroshi no Hikari)” will be composed
of my "brand new" series of work, and it will be the first
time to exhibit this!
This work is about "recalling old memories through particular
lights".
I will stay in
Tokyo for the show for many days in April, so it would be great if
you could visit my show and / or the gallery talk if you are in Tokyo
in April! I look forward to seeing YOU all! Thanks!
Then, here are the details of the following show in Kobe
in May - June;
***REIKO IMOTO Photo Exhibition
"DREAMSCAPES - Visual

anniversary of

Gallery TANTO TEMPO is a wonderful photo gallery,
located in the center of Kobe. I'm very honored to be offered the
show on the "2
years anniversary of Gallery TANTO TEMPO"
as I am originally a local of Kobe! If you are in Kobe / around the
city in May or June, please visit my show and "gallery talk"!
I hope to see YOU all! Thanks!
The next NEWS is...
Here is a "photo
report" of my show "Dreamtime"
which was held at Galerie 4 in Cheb, Czech Republic
last autumn. Thanks a lot for your patience while waiting for the
report! Please click the picture below to enjoy looking at the snapshots
from the show! (34 pics.);
Ok, I hope to see YOU in Japan soon! I'm also very much looking forward
to seeing the Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) in April there
:) For Japanese people, it is something very special and important
to enjoy every spring, since the flowers won't last for long just
like "fireworks", you know? Well, it's a bit longer than
fireworks, but it's the same phenomena that people gather to enjoy
watching the "short beauty". I wonder how it would be if
the cherry blossoms bloomed for every season, and how we would react
to the "common" flower... ? But, anyway, it won't happen,
and Sakura is like the "diamond" flowers - the rare beauty
in my country... If you plan to visit Japan soon, I recommend you
to go there from very early April to see Sakura, and if you do so,
please don't miss my shows by any chance :)
Have a great season soon!
Best Wishes,
Reiko
