- Notes
- 美濃国厚見郡江崎村（現・岐阜市江崎町）生まれ。1870年に上京、柳川春三の『写真鏡図説』で湿板写真術を独学する。横浜で下岡蓮杖の教えを受け、71年、東京・芝で写真館を開業。72年、浅草・奥山に移転。明治初期の東京を代表する写真師の一人となる。当時欧米で実用化された写真乾板を83年には輸入。同年、隅田川で行われた水雷爆破の瞬間を撮影、湿板写真に比べて感度が高く露光時間が短い乾板の特性を生かした「早取り写真」によって名声を得た。Born in Ezaki-mura, Atsumi-gun, Mino (now Ezaki-cho, Gifu City), he moved to Tokyo in 1870 and taught himself wet plate photography through Shunzo Yanagawa's "Shashin Kagami Zusetsu". In 1971, he opened a photo studio in Shiba, Tokyo and moved to Okuyama, Asakusa in 1972. In 1972, he moved to Okuyama, Asakusa, and became one of the leading photographers in Tokyo in the early Meiji period. In 1983, he imported photographic dry plates, which were then being put to practical use in Europe and the United States. In the same year, he photographed the moment of a torpedo explosion on the Sumida River, and gained fame for his "rapid-take" photography, which took advantage of the characteristics of dry plates, which have higher sensitivity and shorter exposure time than wet plate photography.
