Who is creator Yudai Goto?

Based in Tokyo, Yudai Goto is a creator who works as a photographer, video director, and drone pilot, using his street-style sense of color as his weapon. Self-taught in photography, his work has been recognized in various media, and driven by the desire to "capture things from a perspective no one has ever seen before," he began serious aerial photography. He currently leads "THE DRAWNERS," a creative team formed as a result of his aerial photography.

This photo exhibition will feature and sell works taken using drones to photograph cities and streetscapes both in Japan and abroad. A highlight of the exhibition is the way the numerous aerial shots taken from drones, such as the highways in Nagoya and the basketball courts in Hong Kong, capture the "orderly beauty" unique to man-made structures.

During the exhibition, the display will feature valuable historical photographs that are no longer permitted to be taken due to legal restrictions, as well as works taken with special permission from above the Isetan Shinjuku store. In addition, merchandise featuring these aerial photographs printed on T-shirts and tote bags will be available for purchase.

Items featuring aerial photographs have been released.
