"Adolfo Farsari (1841–1898) was an Italian photographer who established a successful business in Yokohama – Farsari & Co. – the last of the pioneering and influential foreign-owned studios to thrive in Japan. After a fire destroyed much of his photographic stock, in 1886 Farsari traversed the country compiling a new set of negatives, which over the ensuing years formed the basis of the studio's output, bought by tourists and travellers as Japan opened increasingly to the West. Regarded as a luxury product, the photographs were hand-painted by highly skilled artists, and advertised for their fidelity to life... 'Views and Costumes of Japan' is one of the finest examples of its kind, bound inside decorated covers and featuring hand-coloured prints of the highest quality" (Philip Grover, Pitt Rivers Museum website).
