MENLO PARK, Calif. -- The Portola Art Gallery presents “Japan Revisited†-- photographs by Frances Freyberg.
The vibrant color photographs feature landscapes, cityscapes, shrine scenes and portraits from Freyberg’s travels through Japan. Highlights include a pathway through thousands of red torii (shrine gates) leading to the top of Kyoto’s Mt. Inari-san; a river of irises in Kanazawa’s Kenroku-en garden; a bride and groom in traditional wedding costumes; and the charming post town of Narai, along the historic Nakasendo Highway.
In addition to signed and framed photographs, there will also be a variety of photo cards for sale.
Freyberg traveled through Japan in May 2013 with her father, Menlo Park resident Dr. Derek Freyberg, who studied there as a chemistry graduate student from New Zealand. Derek wrote about their journey, and shared travel tips for prospective travelers, for The Almanac at http://www.almanacnews.com/news/2014/02/18/destinations-japan-revisited.
