Kimbei & the Italian Venetian Photographers

Kimbei & the Italian Venetian Photographers: The worship of the image of the late Edo Period, till the today's japonism imaginary.

Photographer Kusakabe #Kimbei, one of the most accomplished Japanese photographers of his time, operated a studio in #Yokohama from the early 1880s until 1913. Kusakabe Kimbei worked with #FeliceBeato and #Baron Raimund von Stillfried as a #photographic #colourist and assistant before opening his own workshop in Yokohama in 1881 in the #Bentendori quarter, began with Felix Beato, Adolfo Farsari and Von Stillfried. 2 Italians are masters of the contemporary japanese photographic.

An awesome culture of images still effective for today's anime and manga, the beginning of pop mood we are able to find out such a poetry images, for business of Photography, and from 1889 operating in the #Honmachi quarter. He also opened a branch in the #Ginza quarter of #Tokyo.


POP GROTESQUE! A Photography by Kusakabe Kimbei (日下部金兵衛) #japanesephotography #photoart #photographs #igersjp #edoperiod #masterphotographer #photology #Kusakabe #Kimbei #日下部金兵衛 #fotografia #kusababekimbei (1841 — 1934)

Like postcards (or instagram wall) today, his work was collected by tourists and exported for sale as curiosities to those who could not visit Japan.

As the protégé of von Stillfried, Kusakabe Kimbei continued the tradition of the #psychological studio #portrait and recorded scenic views of the country while he developed his own Japanese sense of photography.
I am proud and surprise during my researching to find the italian influence for one of the most important and beautyful culture of photography and generally of the aesthetic sense of images reproduced.

Ukiyo (浮世 "Floating World") Described the urban lifestyle, Especially the pleasure-seeking aspects, of Edo-period in Japan (1600-1867 Tokugawa period). The "Floating World" culture developed in Yoshiwara, the licensed red-light district of Edo town (modern Tokyo), which was the site of many brothels, chashitsu tea houses, and kabuki theaters frequented by Japan's growing middle class. The ukiyo cultures arose also in other cities Such as Osaka and Kyoto and coming out, beginning of the last century, in Paris . Here began the first real pop art, is the famous Japanese's woodblock prints well known as ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the Floating World," In These districts, already more than 4 century ago, had began their origins the japanese's pop cultures, first in the world affordable art, often depicted scenes of the Floating World itself, such as geisha, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, samurai, chonin and prostitutes that was same of contemporary pop stars and massive brand icons .
