Very interesting. I have a feeling that you could go into greater detail regarding the influence of the Shimazu Clan in Kagoshima. While I live in a different part of Kyushu, during a visit to Kagoshima last year I was amazed to learn how this pioneering family helped usher Japan into the modern industrial world. Thus, it was no surprise to learn from you how they were involved with photography early on.
Yes, so much to write about the fascinating role that the Shimazu clan played in the Meiji Restoration and the industrialization of Japan.
I will keep my eyes peeled for information that will help me tell their story in a way that fits into the mission of Old Photos of Japan—showing daily life in old Japan.
Mark, now that you have awakened my interest, do you perhaps happen to know source material that shows daily life in the Shimazu clan during the Bakumatsu and Meiji periods that ties in with the clan’s role in industrialization and the Meiji Restoration?
