Ogawa Kazumasa Posters – Botanical Beauty through the Lens of Meiji Japan

Ogawa Kazumasa was a Japanese photographer and printer known for his pioneering work in early color photography. His delicate botanical compositions combine precision and softness, capturing nature with a technical mastery that still feels modern today.

At Posterton, we highlight Kazumasa’s flower prints for their quiet detail and subtle elegance. These posters are based on collotype photographs from the late 1800s, offering a unique blend of documentation and artistry—perfect for calm, curated interiors.

Kazumasa’s work helped shape visual culture in Meiji-era Japan. His prints remain a poetic reminder of how art and technology came together to honor the natural world.
