Exhibition "Childhood" by Ba Han from Ho Chi Minh City and a number of other displays by members of the Hai Au Women Photographers' Club opened in Tokyo, Japan on June 1 as part of the Vietnamese Photography Month.

The month began on May 19 with an exhibition entitled "Hanoi Passion" by Hoai Linh from the Vietnamese capital city of Hanoi to be followed by other photo displays by artists from various parts of Vietnam such as Do Dien Khanh from the central province of Khanh Hoa and the Hue Photographers' club.

Photo exhibitions on Vietnam are taking place at five major exhibition centres in Tokyo, vividly featuring the daily life of Vietnamese people in all parts of the country.

Yutaka Ohira, Director of the organising board, said most Japanese have only known Vietnam as a heroic nation against foreign aggressions, and many photo exhibitions on this topic have been held in Japan. That's why the Japanese Photographers Association has decided to change into another topic and expected the on-going programme with a focus on post-war Vietnam will offer Japanese an overview of Vietnamese people and land, said Mr Ohira.

With almost 300 pictures, the authors have won praises from their Japanese colleagues and audiences for the contents and techniques revealed in their work.

The exhibition on children by Ba Han has shown the honesty and pureness of future Vietnamese masters, while pictures taken by Hoai Linh have left in the hearts of Japanese viewers beautiful images of a peaceful Hanoi with a millennium history.

The Vietnam Month is part of an annual programme on Asian photographs sponsored by the Japanese Photographers Association and the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
