An international art event gathering photographs from across the world, TOKYO PHOTO is now in its second year. It will again have galleries from both inside and outside Japan exhibiting and selling photographic works together at the same venue. The more than 400 works on display will be of the highest quality and on the leading edge of today's market.

The digital camera "GR DIGITAL III x STUSSY" was created as a collaboration model with US fashion brand STUSSY. It went on sale in February 2010. To celebrate the creation of this special model, we are exhibiting approximately 50 candid photographs taken with the GR DIGITAL III by 10 photographers who have a close relationship with STUSSY. We think people will enjoy their freewheeling creative efforts.

< About STUSSY >

Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2010, the STUSSY brand was born in California in 1980 when founder Shawn Stussy, a surfboard shaper until then, began producing t-shirts using surfboard logos and graphics. The popularity of the brand subsequently spread from the beach to major world cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. Now with operations in those cities as well as San Francisco, Milan, and elsewhere, the STUSSY brand offers high casual wear with designs that are basic but at the same time distinctive. The diverse products offered by STUSSY are popular with both men and women and across wide age groups. There are the men's, women's, and kids' lines as well as the GLASSES line with a strong reputation for high-quality sunglasses, the STUSSY LIVIN' line geared to customer lifestyles, and the special STUSSY DELUXE line popular for its simplicity and high quality.

One of Asia's major international art events, TOKYO PHOTO 2010 brings together photographic works from around the world. Photography is attracting strong attention in today's art world, with many active collectors stimulating the market worldwide. Japanese photographers have a strong reputation in this market, and, anticipating a strong presence by collectors from China and the rest of Asia, TOKYO PHOTO aims to create in Japan an international marketplace with ties to New York's AIPAD (March) and PARIS PHOTO (November). The inaugural event, TOKYO PHOTO 2009, received strong praise both inside and outside Japan as a new kind of art event transcending the boundaries of the traditional art fair.
