Short Description: "Adolfo Farsari (Italian pronunciation: [aˈdɔlfo farˈsaːri]; 11 February 1841 – 7 February 1898) was an Italian photographer based in Yokohama, Japan. His studio, the last notable foreign-owned studio in Japan, was one of the country´s largest and most prolific commercial photographic firms. Largely due to Farsari´s exacting technical standards and his entrepreneurial abilities it had a significant influence on the development of photography in Japan.

Following a brief military career, including service in the American Civil War, he became a successful entrepreneur and commercial photographer. His photographic work was highly regarded, particularly his hand-coloured portraits and landscapes, which he sold mostly to foreign residents and visitors to the country." - (en.wikipedia.org 01.12.2019)
