Japanese Junk near Shore, ca.1912-1926.
|
Boats and the Sea predominate as a popular theme with Japanese pictorial photographers, most of whom remain unknown.
|
This image is one of several examples of a largely ignored facet of old Japanese photography – a genre called “Taisho art” or “Taisho pictorial photography”. The pictorialism movement in Japan reached its peak during the reign of emperor Taisho (1912-26), thus the name attached to the genre.
