About the Item

Yokohama, Japan: 1890s. Hand-tinted albumen print, 7 7/8 x 10 1/4 inches (200 x 260 mm), captioned in negative at lower right. Unmounted; housed in an archival mat with clear mounting corners. [Nagasaki University Library, Catalog Number : 3859] Western-style buildings at Umegasaki and Dejima (Deshima). Kozaburo Tamamura (1856-1923) In 1867 he began a seven-year apprenticeship with the Edo photographer Kanamaru Genzo. He then left in 1874 to establish his own studio, also in Tokyo, and then moved his operations to Yokohama in 1883. In 1896 he was at the peak of his fame when he received an order from the Boston publishing house J. B. Millet for more than one million photographs. He also received other lucrative commissions, including international orders for educational lantern slides. His work won many domestic and international awards. Tamamura's photographic enterprise was a huge commercial success. His early albums contain, among others, the work of Yamamoto, Yokoyama, Matsusaburo, and probably Kanamaru Genzo. [Bennett, Terry.
