| Research Abstract |
In this study I explained that family photographs in Japan were directly influenced by Western family photographs of the Western photographic technique which were introduced into Japan from West in the latter half of 1860’s but developed unique styles. In Japan, the composition of family photographs have been constituted in the Western paterfamilias style, but on the other hand they have been constituted in the Confucian style which attached much importance to the spirit of piety, which have been the main current of family photographs in Japan. Its current is the same in China and Taiwan, Korea, so family photographs of the Confucian style are the distinctive feature in East Asia
