Sachi Murai Photo Exhibition – FantaSea
“Sachi Murai Photo Exhibition – FantaSea” exhibition will show underwater photographs taken by Sachi Murai, a photographer who takes photographs under the sea around the world. The photographs for the exhibition were selected from among those that Murai has taken over the last 20 years. Through his photographs, Murai provides visitors with a sense of healing and shows them the dreamy world under water. Today, oceans around the world face a number of problems, such as marine pollution, a decrease in coral reef areas, and the overexploitation of fishery resources. The ultimate aim of the exhibition is to help preserve biodiversity, and it will express the mysterious power and beauty of the sea to let many people know the importance of protecting our “Only One Earth” and its environment.
