Krátky popis
Drawing from an extensive private collection assembled over many
years, this book presents a unique selection of nineteenth-century
photographs of Japan, many of which are published here for the
first time.Between the twilight years of the Tokugawa shogunate
(1603–1867) and the end of the Meiji Era (1868–1912) that followed
it, photography offered a unique insight into the rapid
transformation of Japan from an isolated, feudal society to a
modern, industrialised state. In the four decades that followed the
opening of the country in 1853, the camera evolved from an imported
novelty to a familiar witness of Japanese daily life. Operating
from the Treaty Ports of Yokohama and elsewhere, early
practitioners of photography plied an often precarious trade in
images of Japan and laid the foundations of what would soon become
a highly competitive industry with a global reach. Whether
cherished as souvenirs of an exotic land of fond imagination or
curated as visual documents of a fast-changing society, these
images by foreign and Japanese photographers, often packaged in
exquisitely produced albums, enjoyed a wide circulation abroad and
played an important role in influencing perceptions of Japan in the
West well into the early twentieth century.
