“Photo-Talk-Exhibition” has been held using the mountains and rivers of Kyoto as backdrop, aiming to create a gathering space which merges the scenic beauty, the new encounters and the relationships between the people. This year, we will organaize the online version under the Covid-19 pandemic. Each time with 3 of us [Hitomi Kawasaki (Bonsai researcher), Yukitada Shimamura (Sencha master), Mariko Takeuchi (Critic), Tatsunori Tanbe (Literary researcher), Naoyuki Ogino (photographer)] and 6 applicants will try to share an online Photo-Talk-Exhibition. Participants need to participate with setting their favorite photo as their zoom virtual backgrounds. Everybody prepare hot water, Rice Bowl(GOHAN CHAWAN) and tealeaf(Sencha or Gyokuro leaf) at hand. Together with Sencha master Shimamura, we try to make tea by ourselves and start to share the time and try to talk freely about photography or art through our zoom virtual background photography. Trying to capture TAMASAKA (Japanese sense of serendipity) over the online meeting. Like the salon culture of the Edo period, where people met each other and drank tea together, the gatherings will have no particular format. This is the place participants may talk about art or culture in general, while connecting each other through online from our comfortable space.
