An international art event gathering photographs from across the world,
TOKYO PHOTO is now in its second year. It will again have galleries from both
inside and outside Japan exhibiting and selling photographic works together
at the same venue. The more than 400 works on display will be of the highest
quality and on the leading edge of today's market.
The digital camera "GR DIGITAL III x STUSSY" was created as a
collaboration model with US fashion brand STUSSY. It went on sale in February
2010. To celebrate the creation of this special model, we are exhibiting
approximately 50 candid photographs taken with the GR DIGITAL III by 10
photographers who have a close relationship with STUSSY. We think people will
enjoy their freewheeling creative efforts.

At Ricoh, we value and support "Candid Photo Culture," the essence of
which is to "lightheartedly carry your camera and cherish and enjoy the
photographs lightheartedly taken."

< About STUSSY >
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2010, the STUSSY brand was born in
California in 1980 when founder Shawn Stussy, a surfboard shaper until then,
began producing t-shirts using surfboard logos and graphics. The popularity
of the brand subsequently spread from the beach to major world cities such as
New York, Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. Now with operations in those cities
as well as San Francisco, Milan, and elsewhere, the STUSSY brand offers high
casual wear with designs that are basic but at the same time distinctive. The
diverse products offered by STUSSY are popular with both men and women and
across wide age groups. There are the men's, women's, and kids' lines as well
as the GLASSES line with a strong reputation for high-quality sunglasses, the
STUSSY LIVIN' line geared to customer lifestyles, and the special STUSSY
DELUXE line popular for its simplicity and high quality.

One of Asia's major international art events, TOKYO PHOTO 2010 brings
together photographic works from around the world. Photography is attracting
strong attention in today's art world, with many active collectors
stimulating the market worldwide. Japanese photographers have a strong
reputation in this market, and, anticipating a strong presence by collectors
from China and the rest of Asia, TOKYO PHOTO aims to create in Japan an
international marketplace with ties to New York's AIPAD (March) and PARIS
PHOTO (November). The inaugural event, TOKYO PHOTO 2009, received strong
praise both inside and outside Japan as a new kind of art event transcending
the boundaries of the traditional art fair.
