Asako Narahashi

Asako Narahashi (楢橋 朝子, Narahashi Asako; born 1959 in Tokyo) is a Tokyo-based Japanese photographer.[1] She is famous for her approach of taking photo from outside coastline with splitting frame of water and land or sky, creating a new perspective on Japan landscape.[2] Her photographs are held in a permanent collection in San Francisco Museum of Art[3] and The National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo[4].

In 1990, Narahashi opened the gallery 03FOTOS (1990-2001) to present her works. In 1996, she co-founded the photography magazine Main (1996-2000) with Ishiuchi Miyako.[5]
