Leica Camera Japan is hosting a photo exhibition "Scenic train rides with LEICA" by photographer Seiya Nakai, who has pioneered a new genre of railway photography with his unique perspective and continues to work energetically every day, at the Leica Gallery Tokyo.
The exhibition showcases the works that capture the coexistence of Japan's ever-changing, beautiful seasons and railways from a unique perspective, featuring trains across the country set against backdrops of cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, clear blue skies, sunsets, and sometimes even snow-covered landscapes.

The stunning beauty of Japan’s natural landscapes as they change with the seasons. Blending with the surrounding scenery, local trains continue their timeless journey, creating picturesque scenes that I long to share with as many people as possible. With that aim in mind, I have made it my daily mission to capture such moments through my lens. The photographs I have selected for this exhibition are some of my favorite pieces from a vast collection of railway photos. They were all shot with Leica SL System cameras. The Tokyo exhibition features 17 pieces, while the one in Kyoto presents 15 images—each venue showcasing a different selection. I invite you to take your time with these images, and I’d be delighted if they make you feel as if you were on a scenic railway journey enjoying the vibrancy of the season. |
