It has been announced that "Once Upon A Time!", a photo exhibition documenting the current life of actor Taiga Nakano, who stars in the NHK Taiga drama "BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!）" (NHK General, Sundays at 8pm, etc.), will be held in Omotesando, Tokyo from July 17th.
"BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!）" is the 65th Taiga drama. It is a success story of dreams and hope, depicting the miracle of the Toyotomi brothers, Toyotomi Hidenaga (Koichiro) and his older brother Hideyoshi (Tokichiro), who achieve the great feat of unifying Japan through their strong bond. Nakano plays the main character, Koichiro.
The photo exhibition was conceived from Nakano's desire to "preserve and pass on the record of the historical drama ' BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!）'" It consists of numerous photographs taken during the filming of the drama, capturing the atmosphere on set. The photography was handled by photographer Yusuke Abe, who has close ties with Nakano both professionally and personally. Photographs of the other cast members will also be on display. The exhibition will be held at "NEW" in Omotesando until July 26th.
Nakano commented, "I wanted to leave a record of this historic historical drama for future generations and pass on the memory of ' BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!）' With that in mind, I asked photographer Yusuke Abe to accompany the drama's filming for about a year and take photographs. I imagine that if you can get a glimpse of the characters' profiles that weren't fully captured in the main story, you'll get a better sense of the work's essence. All the photographs are wonderful. Please come and visit the exhibition!"
