10h/17h Old Japanese Castles and Photographs: An Examination of the Meanings of the Genre of “Castle Photograph” in the Dawn of Japanese Photography par Andō Chihoko (Kyoto Institute of Technology)
A unique genre of “castle photograph” was developed in 19th-century Japan. The pioneers of photography, the feudal lords, foreign photographers, and Japanese photographers who studied photography with foreigners, left numerous photographs of castles. They were taken for various purposes, such as documents of historical architecture at the historical turning point in late 19th century Japan or as subjects for the photo postcards that were popular in early 20th century Japan. In particular, a castle functioned both as a military base and a residence for feudallords. Therefore, while they took a panoramic photo to grasp a complete view of the outside of the castle exactly, they took an interior photo to enjoy a partial view of the inside of the castle intimately. Thus, castle photography seems to have important implications for the history of Japanese photography. However, the significance of the genre of castle photographs has not been fully considered yet. Therefore, this presentation takes notice of photographs of castles taken in 19th century Japan to begin to discuss the meanings of the genre of castle photographs in the history of Japanese photography.
