Kusakabe Kimbei (日下部 金兵衛) (1841–1934) was a Japanese photographer. He usually went by his given name,
Kimbei, because his clientele, mostly non-Japanese-speaking foreign residents
and visitors,
found it
easier to pronounce than his family name. Kusakabe Kimbei worked
with Felice Beato and Baron Raimund von Stillfried as a
photographic colourist and assistant. In 1881, Kimbei opened his own
workshop in Yokohama, in the Benten-dōri quarter.[3] From 1889, the
studio operated in the Honmachi quarter.
By 1893,
his was one of the leading Japanese studios supplying art to Western
customers.[5] Many of the photographs in the studio's catalogue featured
depictions of Japanese women, which were popular with tourists of the
time.[5]:10 Kimbei preferred to portray female subjects in a traditional
bijinga style, and hired geisha to pose for the photographs.[6] Many of his
albums are mounted in accordion fashion.
Around
1885, Kimbei acquired the negatives of Felice Beato and of Stillfried, as well
as those of Uchida Kuichi.[4] Kusakabe also acquired some of Ueno Hikoma's
negatives of Nagasaki. Kimbei retired as a photographer in 1914.
