General note
"Regarded as an originator of "Yokohama shashin" for tourists, Tamamura Kozaburo opened his first studio in Tokyo in 1874 and then moved to Yokohama in 1883. For the next 30 years he became one of the most successful and popular commercial photographers in Japan by selling souvenir photograph albums to foreigners and taking profitable commissions from various organizations. He received many awards for his photography before his son Tamamura Kihei took over the business in 1916 and operated it until around the time of the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923. Kihei became one of Japan's leading pictorialist photographers." Source - Harvard University, Collection Development Department. Widener Library.
