High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Uchida Kuichi was a pioneering Japanese photographer from Nagasaki. He was greatly respected as a portrait photographer and was the only photographer granted a sitting to photograph the Emperor Meiji. Uchida was adopted at the age of 13, following his father's death, by the physician Matsumoto Jun (formerly Matsumoto Ry?jun) (1832 - 1907), who was at that time studying photography with J. L. C. Pompe van Meerdervoort (1829 – 1908). A contemporary ukiyo-e print depicts a beautiful woman looking at a carte de visite with Uchida's stamp. Uchida studied photography under Ueno Hikoma in their native city of Nagasaki. When he was 16 years old, he purchased his first photographic equipment and by 1863, when he was 19, he was importing and selling photographic equipment. He opened his first photographic studio in 1865 with Morita Raiz? in Osaka, the first studio in that city.
