[From Foreword] Unlike the visual arts of its indigenous traditions, photography in Japan is inextricably related to the history of its relations with other cultures. The first successful photographic images produced in Japan were daguerreotypes made by Eliphalet Brown, Jr., of Philadelphia, who accompanied Commodore Perry in his 1854 "opening" of Japan. In the 1870s, the first Japanese photographer of note, Kusakabe Kimbei, was trained in Yokohoma as an assistant by the Italian, Felice Beato . . . Today Japan is familiar to many of us in its technology and affluence, but it also retains overtones of the impenetrable in our perceptions of its insularity, aestheticism and spirituality. As Americans, we may look to the photographs of Land of Paradox for insights into a culture we do not and perhaps cannot know, but we may simultaneously find in them a reassurance of art's universality. The four bodies of work presented here may inform us of the particular sensibilities of particular Japanese at a particular place and time. In addition, however, they allow us the experience of objects we will include in our own constructs.That we may do this, even without profound knowledge of the language and history from which they have emerged, is the unironic paradox of the exhibitions title, transcending cliches of Oriental inscrutability for a consideration of the paradox of knowledge itself.
