1913 - Kineo Kuwabara

桑原甲子雄写真展，徠卡與東京。展覽日期  2001 年 6 月 19 日（火）～ 9 月 2 日（日）。 展出地點東京都寫真美術館 2階展示室圖二英文簡歷中，桑原本人手寫原子筆特別修正並加上去的日本攝影最高殿堂就是這裡。門票主視覺是他 1930 年代拍攝的東京街頭店鋪。門票右下角印著一台非常有歷史歲月感的黑色漆面巴納克徠卡相機。 在 2001 年舉辦這個大型回顧展時，桑原甲子雄已 88 歲。這場由國家級博物館（東京都寫真美術館）主辦的個人大展，是他在 2007 年以 93 歲高齡逝世前，日本官方與攝影界為他一生攝影生涯做出的終極加冕與歷史定位。 我們收藏的這兩本全新展覽門票是桑原本人私人收藏。
