150 Years of Red Cross Action – Putting Humanity First in Conflict – Exhibition at Kyoto University Museum

150 Years of Red Cross Action -- Exhibition at Kyoto University Museum 2014 (Photos)

Greetings From Kyoto

Kyoto photographer Kosuke Okuda and I teamed up to do an article for the Russian travel magazine Afisha Mir (Афиша-Мир). I just got a PDF of the article — hot off the server!

In the article I introduced the long history of Aritsugu which was founded in 1560. Aritsugu is one of the most famous makers of traditional Japanese knives and they are found in good kitchens all over Japan. We focused on the special eel bone cutting ‘honegiri’ knife that is used for the traditional Kyoto summer delicacy of ‘hamo’ pike eel. The knife is over 40 cm long, weighs more that 500 gm and costs more than $1,000 USD!

I wrote it, but I can’t read it!!

I was invited to the media preview at Kyoto University Museum for the exhibition, ‘150 Years of Red Cross Action’ (赤十字150年展 – 戦場の「いのち」に寄り添う). The exhibition features a visual timeline on the walls of the gallery that display the history and development of the Red Cross with photos, that are often heartbreaking or inspiring. The exhibition shows from January 15 to March 30, 2014.
