The Clematis-no-oka cultural complex in the Shizuoka prefecture city of Mishima will soon celebrate the opening of a new museum devoted to photography: the Izu Photo Museum. Located near the Vangi Sculpture Garden Museum, the interior and garden of Izu Photo have been designed by Sugimoto Hiroshi. The museum will kick off with Hiroshi Sugimoto: Nature of Light featuring the artist’s new photogenic drawings among other works. Other scheduled exhibitions include works from the photohistorian Geoffrey Batchen’s collection in April 2010 and by Kimura Yuki in September.
