Works from Osamu James Nakagawa's series, Kai, are featured in the Eskenazi Museum of Art’s exhibition of 51 works by 45 artists—all of which were acquired in the past five years, Re/New: Recent Acquisitions by Contemporary Artists.
One of the images on view at the Eskenazi museum, is the image Morning Light. This image is featured in the 5th edition of Naomi Rosenblum's A World History of Photography, she says: "To counter Tolstoy: all families are different– whether happy or unhappy– and their intimacies and complexites are unique when seen through the eyes of different photographers. That range is made apparent when comparing works by Sally Mann, Christopher Anderson, and Osamu James Nakagawa, all of whom have conducted indefatigable, loving, unsentimental studies of their children in the process of growing up." (Naomi Rosenblum, A World History of Photography: 5th Edition Reprint Edition, 2019)
