3D Model

写真は1848年にオランダから日本に技術が渡来、1857年頃伝わったコロディオン・プロセス（湿板写真）により本格的に普及を始めた。幕末には職業写真家も複数現れ、江戸・横浜・長崎には写真館も開業している。この写真機は旧江戸城などを撮影した横山松三郎が使用したとされるもの。

Photographic technology was introduced to Japan from the Netherlands in 1848. The collodion process (wet plate photography), which was introduced around 1857, led to the full-fledged spread of photography. Several professional photographers emerged by the end of the Edo period and opened their studios in Edo, Yokohama, and Nagasaki. This camera is said to have been used by Yokoyama Shōzaburō, who photographed the former Edo Castle and other sites.
