60 Years Since The Beatles Arrived in Tokyo
On 29 June 1966, The Beatles arrived in Tokyo for a series of performances at the Nippon Budokan during what would become their final world tour.
Created from Shimpei Asai's celebrated photographs of that historic visit, these museum-quality fine art prints offer collectors the opportunity to experience some of the most intimate images ever made of The Beatles in Japan.
Available exclusively through Genesis, each print is produced as a small artist edition, individually signed by Asai and printed using archival giclée methods on museum-grade cotton rag paper.
First published internationally through Hello, Goodbye: The Beatles in Tokyo, 1966, these photographs remain among the most revealing visual records of the Beatles' remarkable 100 hours in Japan. Published in small artist editions, the three remaining photographs in the series are now approaching full subscription.
