is a group of three Japanese photographers and their associates who worked together on exhibitions and books from 1992 until 2009 or a little later.〔There was a 24 January 2009 symposium by and about Raika Dōmei.

Accessed 14 March 2009.〕 From that time until 2009 or thereabouts they walked around Nagoya, Hakata, Paris, Mie, and Tokyo; and exhibited and published the results. Planned in early 2009 were photographs of Kurashiki (Okayama).〔(Article ) about a 24 January 2009 symposium by and about Raika Dōmei, Kurashiki City website , accessed 15 January 2015.〕 The three said that they hoped their photography would preserve the individuality of the photographer, and that it would appeal not just to enthusiasts of Leica and other mechanical cameras but rather to all.〔"(Raika Dōmei towa )", Raika Dōmei website , as archived by the Wayback Machine on 31 July 2009; accessed 14 January 2015.〕 Akasegawa published an essay, "Raika Dōmei", about the group. The three had no rigid allegiance to the Leica brand, or even avoidance of electronics: each photograph in the book ''Tokyo Kaleidoscope,'' for example, is annotated with a mention of the camera and lens used; the photographs by Akasegawa use a variety of cameras (including the Contax G2), and many of those by Takanashi use a Hexar RF. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raika Dōmei」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
