The must-have classic work on early Japanese photography! "Writer
Bennett crafted this beautiful and educational book from a
collection of 350 old and rare images captured by Western
photographers. This book offers a glimpse of life in Japan during
one of its most dramatic periods in history." --Shutterbug Magazine
"The extensive collection of valuable photographs in this book and
its text might be described as a visual record of our native land
during that period, a record that has been lost to us since so many
early photographs left Japan." --Message announcing Photography in
Japan: 1853-1912 as the Winner of the 2007 International Award of
the Photographic Society of Japan This book presents a fascinating
visual record of Japan and Japanese culture during its
metamorphosis from a feudal society to a modern industrial
nation--at a time when the art of photography was still in its
infancy. The 350 rare images in this book, most of them published
here for the first time, chronicle the introduction of photography
in Japan and the history of early Japanese photography. These
images are vital in helping us to understand the dramatic changes
occurring in Japanese society during this critical period. Taken
between 1853 and 1912 by talented Japanese and foreign
photographers, these photographs document the history of
photography in Japan in a comprehensive and systematic way, with
extensive information about the photographers as well as the people
and subjects illustrated. The images, whether sensational or
everyday, intimate or panoramic, document a nation on the brink of
abandoning its traditional ways and entering the modern age.
