Description

The archive at the photography department at the Japanese Prime Minister's residence in Nagatacho, Tokyo, is a legacy to future generations that is filled with photographs that capture many of most important events in the modern history of Japan. During the thirty-five years I spent at the photography department at the Prime Minister's residence, I photographed eighteen different Prime Ministers, from Eisaku Sato to Junichiro Koizumi, and contributed some 400, 000 color and blackand- white photographs to the archive. The images in the archive help convey the rapid evolution of Japan's political history, and at long last efforts to preserve them long term have gotten underway. In this digital age, I would like to explain both the practicalities of preserving silver bromide film in an analogue format, and plans for public disclosure of these images based on digital searches.
