The Tokyo Fuji Art Museum premiered the second half of its “Travel Nippon” exhibition today. The exhibition, whose first half opened on December 2, 2014, features 18 pioneering photographs of life in Japan from the end of the Tokugawa shogunate to the emerging Meiji Period in the latter half of the 19th century.
Belonging to the museum’s extensive photography library, the works were taken by both Japanese and foreign photographers of the day, providing a fascinating glimpse into a people and culture transitioning from the feudal samurai era to modernity.
