Japan Photographic Society (19th century)
- Japan Photographic Society (19th century)
The nihongo|Japan Photographic Society|日本写真会 [In the orthography of the time, 日本寫眞會.] |Nihon Shashinkai was a Tokyo-based organization of photographers founded in 1889 that continued until the closing years of the nineteenth century.
The JPS started as Japan's first organization for amateur photographers, although professionals too later joined. Of the fifty-six founding members, twenty-four were foreigners, and among these W. K. Burton served as secretary.
The JPS arranged various photographic activities: criticism, modeling sessions, exhibitions and so forth. The members' works were published in the magazine "Shashin Shinpō."
The society seems to have folded at some time shortly after 1896, as a result of the bankruptcy of its main sponsor, Kajima Seibei.
A later organization with the same name is unrelated.
