21 Is a photograph an image or an object?

Generaliy, the age of mechanical reproduction is said to start since the birth of photography in the 19th century. However, photographs at the dawn of its history impress us with their substantial quality stronger than the later ones. This fact indicates that the earliest photographs are deeply linked to private possession rather than technical possibilities of mass-reproduction. For the private possession makes the possessors familiar to their own images as well as their family's and friends' ones. Among them, the card size portraits called " Carte de Visite" symbolize how the individuals existed in the modern industrial age through the size.

- Daguerreotype
A Daguerreotype is made on a silver-plated sheet of copper made light-sensitive by prior exposure to vapors that produced silver iodide. The plate was next exposed in a modified camera obscura, and then treated with mercury vapors. This epoch-making practical form of reproduction in photography is named after its inventor, Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (b.1787-d.1851). Because the accuracy to represent the objects is much better than former techniques, then the age of mechanical reproduction started.

- Tintype
Tintype was invented by a French named Adolphe-Alexandre Martin (b.1824-d.1896) in 1852. It began as thin sheets of iron or tin, covered with a layer of black paint. This serves as the base for the same iodized collodion coating and silver nitrate bath. It is then sensitized by being dipped into a bath of silver nitrate, and exposed in the camera while still wet. A chemical developer is used to bring out the image on the black base with white or gray color gradation. It hed not been spread in Europe where Talbot type became popular, however, because it was cheap and endurable, it became much popular in the United States during the Civil War. As it is pressed on a sheet of metal, it is also called Ferrotype

- Ambrotype
The ambrotype produced pictures on glass instead of metal plates, which is flowed with a sticky material known as iodized collodion. The glass plate is then backed with black material -paint, cloth or paper-to have the positive images. It was invented in England in 1851. In early day of Meiji period, it is called wet collodion photo or glass copied photo and became popular in every photo studio such as in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kobe. In Kyoto, the photo studio of HORI Yohei (b.1826-?) located on Teramachi-street was the pioneer. The Tourists to Kyoto purchased their own images in the photos as souvenirs.

22 "Copy" photo and "Original" photo

Compared to pictures which exist as sole existence, photographs have their essence in potentiality of copy by means of optical mechanism of object lens. In photography photos signed by the photographer are recognized as "original prints" following the tradition in fine arts field. What is ever the essential difference in these days between photographs as reproduction of negatives and the prints copied through the process of highly developed digital printing?

23 Beeoming Original after Reproduction!

Generally, it is thought that original is authentic and copy is unauthentic. However, there is an example disproving this widely accepted idea. For instance, paper money is a good one. Since it is printed matter, a paper money has its original master plate. Though this plate is surely original, it is not money. Thousands or millions of massively copied items with accuracy are true money. An artwork Model 1,000yen Bill by Artist A (= AKASEGAWA Genpei) broke through the daily life mechanism constructed on such currency economy system by surprise. This Model 1,000Yen Bill was thought against the law and the artist was persecuted on charge of Counterfeit currency and security control law to Tokyo District Court in 1965. He was sentenced guilty in this case at the Supreme Court in 1970. Today a Model 1,000Yen Bill is traded at high price in the art market where its historical value is highly evaluated.

24 control of Copyrights by State Government

Stamps are also under control of the national governments like banknotes. The reason why using stamps has no objection is that their reproduction is under the sound public control. Thus, forging stamps is usually regarded as criminal. However, under a specific historic circumstance an exceptional incident could happen. During World War II, the U.S. Government forged the fake stamps of Nazi Germany and tried to circulate them in order to throw the country into economic confusion. Besides, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea manufactured official imitation of early stamps, so-called "reprint", targeting foreign collectors to obtain foreign currency in 1957.

24-1 Usage of Postal Forgery stamps, typed on paper, 9.1 x 16.1, made in Thailand, ca.1975, Naito collection
This is the example of usage of a forgery on purpose to mail. This is one of a few examples of actual usage of forgery stamps because they are illegal. The real usage of postal forgery is so rare that it can be an ultimate collective item.

25 Fakes to deceive Philatelists

The prices of regular postal stamps are not so expensive that the forgery does not pay for the cost. Therefore, the rare stamps become the target of forgers. The displayed fakes of Japanese early stamps were originally souvenir for foreigners, but they turned into forgeries after days. Othenwise, non-existing examples of envelopes are fabricated by using genuine stamps, envelopes, and postmarks for the philatelists who collect postmarked mails. In the world of collectors where "rareness" decides whole the value of collectables, forgers and collectors contest of wits each other.

25-1 16 Hand-etched Stamps in Meiji era (Forgeries), collotype print on paper, made in Japan, Naito Collection
These are forged targeting oversea collectors.

25-2 Cover, hand-written on paper, 17.0 x L8.6, postmarked June 3rd, 1942, Occupied Hong Kong, Naito collection
This is a genuine cover mailed in Hong Kong under Japanese occupation. It is so-called Collector's item.

25-3 Da Luz Postal Cover (Fake), hand-stamped on paper, 9.5 x 11.8, made in Hong Kong, 1950's, Naito Collection
This is a fabrication of used postal cover of Occupied Hong Kong during World War II. Though all the components such as a stamp, postmark, and an envelope are genuine, the postal cover itself is nothing but unnatural forgery. For the date of postmark is after the stamp's publication. This is well known forgery among the collectors.


26 Distribution of reproduced items defines the extent of a political power

Distribution areas of money or postal stamps correspond to geographical extent of a country. The significance of bronze swords, bell-shaped bronze, and bronze mirrors, which has been excavated from archaeological cites throughout Japanese islands, has been discussed in various way. The management of copyrights and distribution of reproduced items are relevant. The owner of the replica, which is equivalent to the original, is regarded as a deputy of the reign. Distribution of bronze mirrors in distant region substantiates the influence of the central authority.

TOMIOKA Kenzo, Son of Tomioka Tessai, stated at first that a triangularrimmed bronze mirror decorated with deities and animals was a gift for HIMIKO from Chinese Emperor of 'Gi' in the 3rd century. Now we find 140different types of the mirrors and approximately 400 mirrors. Each mirror is something difterent from another, but they were classified into several groups with some characteristics such as sizes, styles, patterns, and themes. Triangular rimmed bronze mirrors were also distributed to the leaders,who controlled transportation by sea or rivers and possessed army, by the Yamato Government. (by INOUE Yuichi)


27 Holding the same style is the proot of legitimateness

At intervals of thirty years both photo frames of sacred portraits of the Emperor and Empress in Meiji period and Taisho period are exactly same and keep the equality even in the materials and in detail. This is intended to show that the emperor is the sacred legitimate. Being the faithful copy of the previous one is the important factor showing this legitimacy. Meiji 23 (1890) is the year of Imperial Prescript on Education. Probably, this is assumed to be manufactured with the best materials and artistry skills. Due to packed away somewhere secretly at the end of World War II, it is the first time to bo seen in public after 56 years.

28 what is the originality in Art?

The artists in the twentieth century expanded art from the object itself to performances and concepts. Back then, the first and real production had great significance. It was Duchamp's serial works which promoted such a broadening of the art concept. Specifically, "The Large Glass" is a monumental work of art from the 20th century. Authorized for making a replica by Duchamp himself before his death, the masterpiece was produced on the base of Green Box, which is a specification of design, after his death. The Large Glass has double meaning, that is, one is the original and the other is the replica at the same time. It shook up the concept of what is original from the foundation. In modern art,works which have plural originals are called multiple and the validity of the old dualism of original versus copy is being questioned.

The art magazine edited by Christian Zervos featured the Large Glass in 1936. The cover consists the contrast of two complementary colors, that is, red and blue. Staring at this cover,the blue color part is sunk and the small heart at center floats in blue back. The pursuit of such a illusional visual eftect was Duchamp's life-time theme.

28-4 DUCHAMP Marcel. Roto-relief, Cover of Art Magazine Minotaure (No.6), 31.7 x 24.8, Paris, 1935
The leading Surrealism magazine, Minotaure No.6 carries the article on the Large Glass by Andre Breton. The background of the Roto-relief shows the dusty surface of the Large Glass. This is the photo taken by Man Ray in 1920. The image titled Dust Breeding contributed to form the myth of the Large Glass.


29 Design is copied!

Diversion from western world was the forte of Modern Japan. Especially, in the field of art or fashion journals, which should be sensitive on the currents of the age, the tendency to imitate the western style has been strong even now in the aspect of visual. Covers of art magazines, which have led Japanese art world, have seemed to copy French ones sometimes. If the former is defined as plagiarism of design, the latter seems borrowing of design. Time lug between the original and "copy" shows the difterence of the epoch and the speed of communication at the time.

It revived as Nippon-Bijutsu-Shuppan Company Limited after WWII and created Bljutsu-Techo (Cahier d'Art) in 1948. The history of this magazine over half century has come together with development of the modern art. At first as the title indicated, it borrowed the cover design from Cahier d'Art by Zervos and showed the appearance of sketches by modern masters such as Pablo Picasso (b.1881-d.1973) and Henri Matisse (b.1869-d.1954) whom the times demanded. However, its small size and poor paper quality represent the publishing circumstance at the time of poverty just after the defeat of World War II.

Japanese art magazines always have been influenced under western, especially French, art magazines. They have borrowed French design and followed the featured articles. Nowadays, information is communicated quickly and smoothly. On the contrary, in past days, the articles introducing oversea art trends were featured on the basis of foreign resources and magazines which artists and publishers brought or agents imported.


30 Utility of Edueational equipments

Replicas have been used as educational materials in various academic fields. Among them, medical specimens replicas are the most realistic in representation of the originals. Some of the producers are equivalent to superior artists in technical standards. Those craftsmen realized artistic value besides its purpose. Here, the art and
the science coexist.

30-1 SUZUKI Tsunehachi, Anatomical Model of a human skull cranium from the collection of the Katsuragawa Family. Painted wood with stone and plaster, D:21.5, W:15.5, H:21.5, 1794, Medical Museum, Graduate School of Medicine & Faculty of Medicine, UT
A Dutch 'Captain'. who stayed in Edo (Present-day Tokyo) to greet the Shogun, presented Mr. KATSURAGAWA Hoshu (b.1754-d.1809) with a fine wax model of a human head. In 1794. Mr.SUZUKI Tsunehachi, an unknown sculpture, created this wooden model from the wax model. The wood used is Japanese Cypress. The Tokyo National Institute of Cultural Treasures subsequently repaired and studied this wooden model.

30-2 KAGAMI Bunken (b.1765-d.1829). Model of a human skull, painted wood with stone and metal, ca.1810, Medical Museum, Graduate School of Medicine & Faculty of Medicine, UT
KAGAMI Bunken (1765-1829), a bonesetter in Osaka, ordered a sculptor to create a wooden skeleton. He used this skeleton as a teaching device when he taught bone setting techniques to his students. He donated this skeleton to the Japanese Shogunate's medical museum in 1819.

This specimen is made from wax. First, a negative mold was made by pouring plaster or alginic acid into the diseased area. Then melted wax was poured in and cooled. Later, the surface of the wax was colored. This technique was first developed in Paris. In Japan, Professor of Dermatology DOHI Keizo of Tokyo Imperial University introduced this technique about 1897 and systematically began to produce specimens by about 1902. More than 2,000 specimens had been crea,ed by 1950. However, as the color photograph became increasingly available, this technique waned in importance.

30-5 Anonymous, Model of lymph system in the head and neck, Wax moulage, L:45.0, W:27.0, D:17.5, France, Iate 19th century, Medical Museum, Graduate School of Medicine & Faculty of Medicine, UT
