Kuichi Uchida

The Meiji Emperor, 1873

About the object

This much-discussed photograph was taken by Uchida Kuichi in 1873, when he was given sole access to Emperor Meiji. Unlike earlier photographs in ceremonial court clothing, Emperor Meiji is making a statement here about the modern, western-looking Japan by wearing military apparel designed by a Swedish company.
