Shashin Exhibit at Museum of Fine Arts

Shashin Exhibit: Japanese Photographs from the Meiji Era, 1870-1900

Beautiful and superbly crafted, this selection of photographs showcases the skill and innovation of Japanese photographers working in Japan from 1870–1900. Comprised of almost 50 works from the MFA Collection—most of which have never been on view to the public—early Japanese photography served a multitude of functions including mementos for remembrance, collectibles for tourists, and furthered the notion of photography as an art. 

This exhibit is on display from March 11th - July 23rd, 2023. Get your tickets here today!
