Ogawa, K. (= Ogawa Kazumasa) - Costumes & Customs in Japan in Collotype.

Yokohama, Shanghai, Hongkong and Singapore, Kelly and Walsh, Limited, n.d. (ca. 1892?). Original decorated stiff wrapper, bound with (new) cord ties, 12 unnumbered pages. Ca. 40,5 x 30 cm.12 black and white collotypes (= phototypes) with tissue guards; texts in English. Most photographs are made indoors; nice examples of the beauty of the Japanese and their kimono. Ogawa Kazumasa was a Japanese photographer, printer and publisher who pioneered in photomechanical printing and photography in the Meiji era in Japan. He was born in Saitama prefecture, in the Matsudaira Samurai clan; he started studying English and photography at the age of 15 under Yoshiwara Hideo. He moved to Tokyo in 1880 were he became an interpreter in the Yokohama Police Department. In 1882 he went to Boston where he took courses in portrait-photography and dry plates processes. He also studied collotype printing in Albert Type Company. In 1884 he returned to Japan where he opened a studio in Tokyo. He was a founding member of the Japan Photographic Association. In 1891 he was responsible for the taking of 100 pictures of Tokyo's most attractive geisha. The contribution of Ogawa to Japanese photography is enormous. Maybe this volume is one of a two volume set (no indication), both with this title. Corners and sides of the wrapper are somewhat damaged; otherwise a good copy.
