Zen Foto Gallery opened in September 2009 in Shibuya, Tokyo, to specialize in Asian photography with a particular emphasis on China.

Zen Foto Beijing was established in June 2010. By having galleries in both Tokyo and Beijing(map) Zen Foto aims to be a bridge between Japan and China and a platform for the best of classic and contemporary photography from both countries. So far our exhibitions have included leading Chinese photographers Liu Zheng, Wang Ningde and Yang Yankang, and younger up-and-coming artists such as Muge and Liu Ke. Among Japanese artists we have held exhibitions by Kazuo Kitai, Mao Ishikawa, Seiryu Inoue, vintage works by Ihei Kimura and Iwata Nakayama.

Our aims are: to show interesting exhibitions, to be experimental, to provide stimulating works that would otherwise be rarely seen and to provide a forum for greater appreciation of contemporary and historical photographic works.
