This exhibition showcases over 30 selected works, by award-winning photographer and Fujifilm X-Photographer (Ambassador) Derrick Ong, who captured the last moments of Tokyo’s iconic Tsukiji Fish Market which had been relocated to Toyosu in October 2018.

Guests were welcomed with a speech by Director of JCC Ms Akiko Sugita. Then the Divisional Head of Fujifilm, Mr Keitaro So made a speech praising the works of the photographer. Following which, Mr Derrick Ong spoke, sharing with the guests that his dream of holding an exhibition had finally come true.

He then presented tokens of appreciation to Ms Sugita, Mr So, and Mr Dylan Vo of Brilliant Prints who had helped produce the high-quality prints for the exhibition. Mr Ong also organised a little giveaway for the guests in attendance; he had brought with him daruma dolls that he had bought in Japan, and gave them away to three lucky winners. A reception followed the exciting opening, where guests mingled with Mr Ong and viewed the photographs on display.
