FUJIFILM SQUARE Photo History Museum Photo Exhibition
How Japan Became a Photography Powerhouse: The Beginnings
Today, we all come across large quantities of photographs basically, but how did photography arrive in Japan and how did it become so popular? It was through the passion and hard work of our forebears who overcame countless difficulties in the mid- to late 19th century, a time of many social and economic restraints when Western science and technology were still new to Japan.
We hope you will enjoy learning about the dawn of the culture of photography in Japan and how Japan became a photography powerhouse that has produced a unique and distinctive culture of photography in the modern era unlike any other in the world.
