Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography

Art Museum
The Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography showcases the works of world-famous photographer Shoji Ueda, who was born in Tottori Prefecture. Ueda’s photographs of subjects set against the backdrop of the San’in region’s big skies and imposing sand-dunes won renown as the “Ueda-cho” (“Ueda style”). There is plenty to see at the Museum, including the pond, which reflects an inverted image of Mt. Daisen, and the Museum Cinema, which is decorated with the world’s largest camera lens. The Museum Shop sells an extensive range of souvenir gifts.

    田んぼ?畑の真ん中にぽつんと立っていて、とても目立ちます。現代建築としても素晴らしく、アメリカで建築デザイナーをしていた主人は大変感激していました。建物、周囲の景観、影の落とし方まで、全てがアートとして成り立っています。建築好きな年配の観光客の方が一眼レフで写真を撮られていたのも印象的でした。

    ガイドブックで紹介されていたので行ってみました。のどかな風景のなかにある近代的な建物に驚かされました。2階に上がると大山が綺麗に見えました。逆さ大山も見ることが出来ます。植田さんの写真も素晴らしく、昔の人や風景などの写真をじっくりと見学しました。
