[Year: 1867 Medium: Albumen silver print from glass negative Artist/creator: Portrait taken of an unknown samurai, by the respected Nagasaki photographer Uchida Kuichi, at his Yokohama studio before he moved to the Asakusa district of Edo (modern Tokyo). Uchida would go on to be the first and only photographer permitted to photograph the Emperor Meiji.]

i love the thought of nations appearing in old photographs and portraits, crossing paths with real photographers, painters and sculptors—and leaving glimpses of themselves throughout history that way. personally, i think kiku always kept long hair—until the pressure to westernise unleashed by the american black ships and the encroachment of other western powers. and so, right on the dawn of the meiji era, i see him deciding to have one final photograph taken before that symbolic haircut that would break with centuries of japanese and wider east asian tradition.
