Taedongmun, citadel of Pyeongyang 大同門ト平壌ノ城郭

KASHIMA Seibee 鹿島 清兵衛

KASHIMA Seibee (1866-1924) was known as the billionaire photographer. With a huge sake wholesaling fortune to draw on, he was able to afford such extravagances as the massive lighting required to shoot in the Kabuki theater (the Kabukiza) and making and donating a huge print of Mt. Fuji to the Imperial Household Agency. In his old age, however, his adoptive family broke off ties with him, and he died in poverty.
