About Shinzō Fukuhara

  • Shinzo Fukuhara (?? ??, Fukuhara Shinzo, July 25, 1883 – November 4, 1948) was a Japanese photographer. He was born in Kyobashi-ku, Tokyo, on 25 July 1883, as the fourth son of Arinobu Fukuhara, the head of Apothecary Shiseido (which in 1927 would be incorporated as Shiseido) and Toku Fukuhara (?? ??).
  • The third brother predeceased his birth, so he was named and treated as the third son.
  • His two other elder brothers also died young, but the next brother, Roso, would also win fame as a photographer; and, to a lesser degree, his youngest brother Nobuyoshi (??, b.1897) would too, under the name Toru Namiki (?? ?). Fukuhara first used a camera in 1896, if not earlier.
  • He went to Columbia University to study pharmacology in 1908, and after his graduation traveled around England, Germany and Italy before settling in Paris in 1913.
  • While there he certainly viewed much art and is likely to have seen various exhibitions of post-Impressionist works; Iizawa sees the influence of artists such as Seurat in Fukuhara's photographs later collected as “Paris and the Seine." Fukuhara died on 4 November 1948.
