Beschreibung

Watanabe Tokutar was the owner of the A. Farsari & Co. photographic studio. Watanabe initially was the firm's chief operator under the ownership by Adolfo Farsari and then Tonokura Tsunetar . Following the departure of Tonokura in 1904, Watanabe became the new owner, only to be succeeded by the firm's former secretary Fukagawa Itomaro. A. Farsari & Co. was based in Yokohama, Japan.Adolfo Farsari (11 February 1841 7 February 1898) was an Italian photographer based in Yokohama, Japan. Following a brief military career, including service in the American Civil War, he became a successful entrepreneur and commercial photographer. His photographic work was highly regarded, particularly his hand-coloured portraits and landscapes, which he sold mostly to foreign residents and visitors to the country. Farsari's images were widely distributed, presented or mentioned in books and periodicals, and sometimes recreated by artists in other media; they shaped foreign perceptions of the people and places of Japan and to some degree affected how Japanese saw themselves and their country.
