最初の写真術ダゲレオタイプがパリで公表されたのは1839年でしたが、日本にその技術が伝来するのはそのわずか9年後、幕末の1848（嘉永元）年のことでした。幕末に写真が渡来してから150年余り、日本では多くの優れた写真家が作品を残してきました。本展ではその中でも特に重要な101人の写真家が撮影した「この1枚」と呼べる代表作を銀塩プリントで展示し、日本写真史の軌跡を紹介します。

The Yamanashi Prefectural Museum presents
The Fuji Film Collection ‘My best shot’ – 101 Photographs of Japan’s Greatest Photographers

The first photographic procedure, the Daguerreotype, was presented in Paris in 1839. Only nine years later, in 1848, this technology was introduced to Japan. Within the more than 150 years since photography arrived at the end of the Tokugawa period, Japan has brought forth many excellent photographers. This exhibition shows the best shots of 101 particularly important artists among them, which will be exhibited as masterful silver halide prints, giving an overview over the history of Japanese photography.

In this exhibition you will find works by the early masters of Japanese photography such as Felice Beato and Shimo’oka Renjo. You will also find pictorialist art photographers and works by artists associated with the modernist New Photography movement of the 1930s, alongside the multi-faceted expressions by leading figures of both pre- and post-war photography such as Hayashi Tadahiko, Ueda Shoji or Kimura Ihei.

Among the 101 photographs and photographer, there are also some that are related to Yamanashi: Kusakabe Kimbei, who in 1841 was born in the former province of Kai, located at the center of today’s Yamanashi prefecture; Or Okada Koyo and Shirahata Shiro, who both repeatedly photographed the Mt. Fuji.
Today, we see photography having entered yet a new stage due to the spread of digital technology and the internet. We hope that this exhibition will not only show you some of the most essential aspects of Japanese photography but also that it becomes an opportunity to think about what photography was, is and might become.
