Photo appeared in Japan a little later of its invention, when in the 1850s, the country was opened to trade and visitors from Western countries. The restoration of the Empire and the Meiji period brought about many changes, including new technologies and types of production, and especially the rapidly changing life of the Japanese in the late nineteenth century.
