Why go back to Japan 45 years later?

Why go to Japan in April 2025? There are 2 artistic objectives and 2 economic objectives.

Artistic objectives:

1. Photographing the same places and especially the same two families in Japan to compare "Before" with 1980 – more is said in this article
2. Propose an event in Japan to one or more artists. Here are two recent examples:exhibition women of Provence in Draguignan,exhibition shepherds of Provence Salerno. A show like Intimate Provence in Roquebrune allows to combine photo exhibition, music, dance (see extract tango on Youtube) and singing (see extract Edith Piaf on Youtube).

Economic objectives:

1. Identify a French company based in Japan, interested in our projects. This Article details the profits for the company.
2. Visiting a TV production studio forerunner in its technological transformation (this is the profession that fascinates me and occupies me daily)

To be transparent, photographing the same people and the same places will be done in two steps: François (who writes these words) goes there in April 2025, then Julian Shelton goes there in 2025 to make a report like that with the family of shepherds Bellini in Provence.
