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. 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"--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Photography $z Japan $x History. 650 0 $a Photography $x Private collections $z Japan. 651 0 $a Japan $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Japan $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 651 6 $a Japon $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377738 $x M¿urs et coutumes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0060949 $y 19e siecle $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373673 $v Ouvrages illustres. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377738 651 6 $a Japon $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377738 $x M¿urs et coutumes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0083162 $y 20e siecle $0 (CaQQLa)201-0083162 $v Ouvrages illustres. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377738 650 6 $a Photographie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0482806 $x Collections privees $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373914 $z Japon. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0482806 650 7 $a Manners and customs $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Photography $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061714 650 7 $a Photography $x Private collections $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061802 651 7 $a Japan $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a photobooks. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300265728 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Pictorial works $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 $a Photobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Livres de photographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001206 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D465E000141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
