The JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme is a Japanese Government run cultural exchange programme, which places Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in schools around Japan. The JET Programme receives more than 5,000 participants from 54 countries every year, and so far, more than 800 young Irish people have participated in the JET Programme since 1988.

Participating in the exhibition are more than 25 Irish JETs who once lived or are currently living in various regions in Japan. The style of their photographs varies from amateur snapshots to carefully constructed artistic imagery, from recreational reportage to professional interpretations through post productive work. As a collection they demonstrate that Japan is a constantly shifting confluence of tradition, modernity and extraordinary energy.
