PUBLIC FIGURES and LANDSCAPES
in the LAST DAYS of the TOKUGAWA SHOGUNATE
and the MEIJI PERIOD

 

―Through the old photos left veiled in Hagi, the domain capital―

 
 

September 17 (Sat.) 〜 November 20 (Sun.) , 2011

Project-based Exhibition Room
 

This exhibition focuses on “old photos” which tell the history of the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Meiji period among a large collection of photo materials of the HagiMuseum.They are to be exhibited for the first time.
In the late 19th century, when the Western Powers began to advance to the East Asia, Japan decided to choose the opening of the country to the world.In that process, photography was published in France in 1839, when Japan was just in the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Fortunately, the photography, which could take pictures of things as they were, was brought to Japan.
The exhibition is made up of two parts.The selected old photos show the real atmosphere of the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Meiji period.The photos will never fail to revive powerful facial expressions of people who ventured to handle the social upheavals and the landscapes and the buildings in the beginnings of modernization visually.
