EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Count Okuma, the ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs and leader of the Progressive Party in Tokyo, Japan in 1904. The image showcases a distinguished man dressed in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a kimono that reflects his cultural heritage. Count Okuma Shigenobu (1838-1922) was not only a prominent political figure but also went on to become the Prime Minister of Japan from 1914 to 1916. He played a crucial role in advocating for modernization and opening up Japan to Western science and culture during this time. Seated with an air of authority, Count Okuma's portrait highlights his leadership qualities and statesmanship. His deep commitment towards progress is evident through his involvement with the Progressive Party, which aimed at bringing about positive change within the country. The use of stereoscopic photography adds depth and dimension to this historical snapshot, allowing viewers to immerse themselves into the era when Count Okuma held significant influence over Japanese politics. This photograph serves as a testament to both his personal achievements as well as Japan's evolving relationship with foreign nations during the early 20th century. Preserved by Underwood & Underwood, renowned photographers of their time, this print stands as a valuable piece capturing an influential figure who shaped Japan's path towards modernity.
