In October 2004 Howard M. Christopherson was asked to partake in a group photographic exhibit in Tokyo, Japan. The exhibit was called Zoom International Photographic Exhibition In Tokyo. It took place at the Nihon Broadcasting Station Hall in Kojimachi, Tokyo, Japan. This special international exhibit was celebrating 30 years of Zoom Magazine and the launch of the new Japanese edition of the magazine. Zoom is one of the oldest and most well respected photography magazines in Europe. Zoom editorial offices are in Milan, Italy. The exhibit was comprised of 15 images by each of the 11 international photographers participating. Christopherson was honored to be the only American in this special exhibition. His show in Japan exhibited 15 B/W images he made in Peru.
