A critical and celebratory counternarrative to what we know of Japanese photography today.

I'm So Happy You Are Here presents a much-needed counterpoint, complement, and challenge to historical precedents and the established canon of Japanese photography. This restorative history presents a wide range of photographic approaches brought to bear on the lived experiences and perspectives of women in Japanese society. Editors Pauline Vermare and Lesley A. Martin, curator and writer Takeuchi Mariko, and photo-historians Carrie Cushman and Kelly Midori McCormick provide a critical historical and contemporary framework for understanding the work in three richly illustrated essays. Additional context is provided by an in-depth illustrated bibliography by Marc Feustel and Russet Lederman, and a selection of key critical writings from leading Japanese curators, critics, and historians such as Kasahara Michiko, Fuku Noriko, and others, many of which will be published in translation for the first time. While this book does not claim to be fully comprehensive or encyclopedic, its goal is to provide a solid foundation for a more thorough conversation about the contributions of Japanese women to photography--and an indispensable resource for anyone interested in a more robust history of Japanese photography.

Made possible in partnership with the Rencontres d'Arles and Kering.

So refreshing, you’ll forget it’s sunscreen.
This stuff is fantastic. I love the super fine mist and how easily the pump works. It is soo refreshing and smells like fresh coconut. Ot doesn’t sting or burn my sensitive eyes, and it leaves my skin feeling revitalized and moisturized, not sticky or tacky. It feels amazing when it’s hot outside and you need a quick refresh and it won’t disturb my makeup. Coola is becoming one of my favorite sunscreen brands.

Amazing Product

This sunscreen mist feels like water. It’s truly refreshing when applied. I have ultra sensitive skin and eyes and I’ve experienced no irritation from this product.

Refreshing!
Love, love, love this! It feels so refreshing when I spray it on my face. The scent is sweet but not overpowering, and it’s not oily at all. I usually apply it after my moisturizer and throughout the day whenever I need a little pick-me-up.

Easy to use and it actually works
So I live in Florida, taking care of your skin is super important. This is actually a great product, I actually use it to set my make up on the rare occasions that I wear any but on days that I don't This product is still great. It's not heavy or leaves a white cast like some of the other sun protection does. It doesn't leave my skin greasy but it helps to feel moisturized. Honestly I just spray it as I'm about to leave the house and I'm good to go. Plus it actually smells good, like very light tropical beach vibe. Best part it's never caused me to break out on my skin because I have very sensitive skin.
