SUMMARY:Looking for Japan: Early Japanese Photography
DESCRIPTION:September 5–November 29, 2026, Gallery 117\n2026 FotoFocus Biennial exhibition\nThe Meiji period (1868–1912) encompassed great change, as traditional institutions gave way to political and social upheavals, along with the Westernization of aspects of Japanese culture. The photographs in this exhibition highlight such changes, from personal and private images to those made for a newly established tourist trade.\nEarly photography can foreground discussions regarding beliefs, traditions and practices within Japan as well as the ways in which they may have been packaged for, and influenced by, Western audiences. Objects on view will range from single photographs and postcards to albums, from albumen travel photographs to hanging scroll collotypes. The exhibition spotlights hand-colored prints depicting scenes of landscapes, cities and portraits, including historical Japanese architecture, hairstyles, clothing, weapons and even tattoos.\nThe highly personal, sometimes provocative images, are a focal point to consider history, culture and societal change. While more than a century ago, these themes are current and resonant and make for an especially timely reflection for visitors.\nPlan your visit to see these and other incredible works! \nSupport for this 2026 FotoFocus Biennial exhibition was provided in part by FotoFocus.\nFeatured Image: Ogawa Kazumasa (Japanese, 1860–1929), Chrysanthemum (detail) 1896, from the album Some Japanese Flowers, collotype.
