About

Zanzō Archive is a digital publication, archive, gallery, bookshop, and emerging advisory dedicated to East Asian visual culture.

Initially focused on the Onna no Shashin movement — led by photographers like Hiromix and Mika Ninagawa — the platform now embraces a broader mission: to trace and expand the afterimage of East Asian art across mediums, generations, and geographies.

We create a space for thoughtful exchange — where memory, visual culture, and gender intersect. Through publishing, curated exhibitions, and rare book offerings, Zanzō Archive brings visibility to underrepresented artists, supports emerging voices, and fosters research-driven dialogue between East Asia and the wider art world.

“Zanzō” (残像), meaning afterimage, reflects our belief in what lingers — the emotional and cultural resonance of art. As a living platform, we continue to evolve, building connections between artists, institutions, and ideas across borders.
