RIKIO SUGANO 1923-1924

Luces 2016 Award: Best International Photography Exhibition

The Jan Mulder collection in loan with the Image Center presents the negatives of the “Japanese Immigrants” collection, which have a great documentary and artistic value that highlight the Peruvian-Japanese relationship of the early 1920s. As part of the images are portraits of the Japanese community in Peru (children and adults), shots of sporting events, monuments, archaeological sites, factories, work centers, squares, views of Lima and the north coast. The background includes an important series of negatives in which Rikio Sugano, a Japanese adventurer who visited Peru from 1923 to 1924, is portrayed.
