It’s ‘otherness’ that helps define ‘self’
For better or worse, in contemporary art it is common to see male photographers tend toward featuring landscapes and objects, and female photographers working on problems of shifting identities, family and the body. In this respect there is a strong lineage for Ayaka Yamamoto's first Tokyo solo exhibition of beautifully executed images of European women, which is showing at the Taka Ishii Gallery, a space well known for representing some of the more established heavy-hitters of contemporary photography. Although Yamamoto's subjects are exclusively women, social issues and feminism, as the artist herself is quick to point out, are not her concerns so much as exploring the female body as form, and examining the difficulty of comprehending one's existence.

YouTube videos hold a sliver of hope for future elections
During the recent campaign for the Upper House, a YouTube video emerged revealing the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's attitude toward the electorate. A woman attending a rally in Fukushima by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe carried a placard that asked the LDP leader his stance on the nuclear energy controversy. LDP security confronted her and said that the rally was "not a place for protest but a place to listen." Recording the conversation secretly, she explained that she wasn't protesting. She just wanted Abe to state his position, but they confiscated the placard anyway and asked for her name and address. According to media reports, though she gave them her home address, they sent the placard to her workplace. As of this writing, the video has been viewed more than 88,000 times.
