Today we met with Masayoshi Sukita, the Fukuoka-born, world-renowned photographer, who photographed Bowie for over 40 years and created some of the star’s most memorable images. Sukita has an exhibition on from today, Feb. 11, until Feb 14 inside Tsutaya Tenjin. He will also give a talk about his work with Bowie tonight (Feb. 11) from 19:00. Details
