Description
Those who travelled to Japan in the 19th century were treading new and fascinating ground. Largely isolated from the outside world until 1854, Japan experienced rapid western-style modernisation. Diplomats were followed by traders, manufacturers, photographers, tourists.This book presents the photography of this period in dialogue with the colour woodcuts of important artists. In these views, geishas dancing and playing the shamisen, samurai, kabuki artists, sumo wrestlers, temples or Mt. show more Fuji all stage a paradisiacal Land of Cherry Blossom. Often delicately coloured, the photos served as souvenirs, were used for teaching purposes, or stimulated the imagination of the exotic.Published alongside an exhibition of the same name at Museum für Fotografie, Berlin, 4 September 2015 - 10 January 2016.German text. show lessTags
