About this Item
[Yokohama ca. 1880, Kusakabe]. A single hand-colored photograph, 27.5 x 21 cm., very good, mounted on a stiff paper right margin has hand-colored floral pattern. OBSCURE . *** Kusakabe [1841-1934] was a very unique Japanese photographer who understood Western photographic principals, but stuck to his native Japanese style and tradition of capturing native Japanese subjects with great skill. His portraits also refl- lect a "natural" beauty and quality not found in the work of other Japanese photographers of the time, even though many were posed. . This excellent period photograph is a classic. It shows four Kago or palanquin carriers holding a young Japanese girl who holds an umbrella before the Hafuya Hotel. The photograph has a caption in English in the lower right corner,with the number B86. . The coolie carriers dont look too happy in fact one at the rear looks completely exhausted while Kusakabe takes the photograph. . Delicately hand-colored with accents, but mostly in original black and white. Seller Inventory # 22012401
