Early Japanese Images - Softcover
This book reproduces over 140 images taken between 1853 and 1905 by the most important local and foreign photographers then working in Japan. Almost one-fourth of the images are handcolored, superb examples of a rich art form long since vanished.
Important features of Early Japanese Images include a historical overview of the years 1853-1912; the story of early Western photographers in Japan; the story of early Japanese photographers; over 100 images reproduced in original sepia tones; over 40 images reproduced as originally handcolored; and an invaluable index that for the first time identifies the photographers of over 1,200 early photographs taken in Japan.

From Publishers Weekly:
English author Bennett (Japan: Caught in Time), who owns a business devoted to early Japanese printed matter, notes that for some 30 years after photography's invention in Europe, serious photography in Japan was largely the work of globe-trotting Europeans fascinated by Japan's exotic vistas and customs. By the 1860s, however, Japan's own camera artists had produced major work, preeminently Kusakabe Kimbei of Yokohama and Tokyo's Tamamura Kozaburo. In the representative selection presented here-largely in the sepia tones and hand-coloring of the period-we see shrines and Buddhas, harbor views, artisans at work, fire-fighters, tattooed men, warriors in armor, along with the Emperor Meiji and his empress, a Samurai council, bathing scenes both public and private and "teahouse" women in sensual embrace. A highly specialized subject of antiquarian interest.
