Hello, Goodbye - Fine Art Prints

The Beatles in Tokyo 1966

Shimpei Asai

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. 

Following a recent reconciliation of the Genesis archive, two complete matching-number Collector's Sets (Nos. 21/25 and 22/25) have also become available, alongside the three remaining individual portraits in the edition. Together, they represent the final opportunities to acquire these celebrated photographs directly from the publisher.
