Kazumasa Ogawa

Japanese

Trained as a photographer in the United States, Ogawa returned home to Japan, where he pioneered employing photographs in Japanese publications that had hitherto illustrated their stories with woodblocks and lithographs. He convinced the Japanese military to allow photographers to accompany their soldiers on their imperial expeditions. His first efforts during the Chinese-Japanese War in 1894-5 were hampered by commanders failing to recognize the military and propagandist value of photographs. But after Ogawa published a folio from that war he and his photographers became widely accepted and were granted permission to photograph actual combat operations in Japan's war with Russia. Ogawa published 23 folios depicting the Russo-Japanese War, of which these are three. (Source: Swann Galleries description)
