The Embassy of Japan in Ottawa recently opened a public exhibition of late nineteenth-century photographs taken by the Canadian missionary and educator John Cooper-Robinson depicting life in Meiji-Taish\u014d Japan. As part of the exhibit Dr. Jacob Kovalio from 杏吧原创\u2019s Department of History will present a lecture, When Modern Japan Was Young: A Historical Journey through Meiji and Taish\u014d, to add context to the photographs. The images are both poignant and intimate offering a window into the lives of Japanese people experiencing the profound political, institutional and socio-cultural changes of the period. In addition, Dr. Carol Payne, from 杏吧原创 Art History, will connect the images to the themes of how photography became a new way to experience the world and also how it acted as a medium for cultural exchange. Jill Cooper-Robinson, great-granddaughter of the photographer, will be on hand to offer insight into how this substantial collection survived and retell personal histories of her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
