Seiya Nakai Photographic Exhibition: Happy Train!

March 15 [Sat.]-May 25 [Sun.], 2025




Hisatsu Line, Okoba Station © Seiya Nakai

Seiya Nakai(born in Tokyo, 1967- ) is a photographer who has captured the fascination of railways from a new perspective and pioneered a new genre of railway photography. His warm, travel-inspired photographs of the scenery around railway lines, people's lives and the laid-back atmosphere felt while riding on trains have attracted many people, and he has been active in magazines and television. His blog that he has kept every day for 20 years, delivers a gentle encouragement to our hearts with a photograph. In addition, Mitsuru Koie's miniature railway dioramas will be exhibited at the same venue. We hope you enjoy beautiful and memorable railway scenes coloured by the changing seasons.
