was the older Japanese photographer of that name. Suzuki was born as the third son of a family named Takahashi〔Written . His full name was written ; this may well have been pronounced Takahashi Shin'ichi but the given name may have had a completely different pronunciation; no reference yet seen specifies the reading. Bennett gives his name, without kanji, as "Takahashi Yujiro" (i.e. Takahashi Yūjirō; Bennett's book dispenses with macrons). ''PiJ'', 169.〕) in Iwashina () (now Matsuzaki, Shizuoka) in July 1835. Both his parents died when he was young, and in 1854 he moved into the Suzuki family (by the custom known as ''muko-iri'' []) in Shimoda when he married Suzuki Yoshichi's daughter, working in the family ''aramono''〔Things made of wood, wicker, etc.〕 business. The same year, a major tsunami (resulting from one of the Ansei great earthquakes) destroyed the building and ended the business. At first working in sericulture, Suzuki often traveled to Yokohama, where he soon apprenticed at the Yokohama photographic studio of Shimooka Renjō in 1867.〔In 1866, according to Bennett, ''OJP'', 291.〕 In 1872–1873 he was commissioned by J. R. Black, publisher of ''The Far East'', to produce a photographic series documenting rural life. Images from this series continued to appear in Suzuki albums until the 1880s.〔Bennett, ''OJP'', 291; ''PiJ'', 171.〕 In November 1873 Suzuki set up his own studio, producing portraits and souvenir albums. The same year, Okamoto Keizō ,〔Bennett, ''PiJ'', 169.〕 a successor of his at Shimooka's studio, married Suzuki's daughter, and Okamoto joined the Suzuki family (''muko-iri'' again). Okamoto became Suzuki Shin'ichi II, and the older photographer thereupon changed his own name.〔To , but no reference yet seen specifies the reading of . Probably it was simply Shin; conceivably it was Makoto or something else.〕 About this time Suzuki may have studied photography under Yokoyama Matsusaburō.〔Or Yokoyama's student may have been Suzuki Shin'ichi II, the records are not specific. Yokoe, 183; Bennett, ''PiJ'', 83.〕 In 1884 he moved to a newly built, western-style two-storey studio. A branch studio was opened in Kudanzaka, Tokyo and operated by Suzuki II. 〔Bennett, ''OJP'', 236. There is no evidence of the Tokyo studio after 1903. Bennett, ''PiJ'', 171.〕 Suzuki's photographs were highly acclaimed and he won an award for them in 1877, and in 1889 he and Maruki Riyō were commissioned to photograph Emperor Meiji and his wife. Purchasers of his works were mostly foreign residents and visitors, and in addition to sales from his own studio, Suzuki's photographs were distributed by Sargent, Farsari & Co.〔Bennett, ''PiJ'', 169; ''OJP'', 233.〕 His studio was advertised as early as 1880, in ''Keeling's Guide to Japan'', and subsequently in the ''Japan Directory'' until 1908, offering daguerreotypes, photographs (including large format hand-coloured albumen prints), and Suzuki's innovation of photographs printed on porcelain, the latter selling for 12 yen each.〔Bennett, ''OJP'', 236, 253, 274; ''PiJ'', 171.〕 These advertisements indicate that from 1893 the Yokohama studio was run by I. S. Suzuki, that is, Suzuki's son Izaburō.〔Bennett, ''OJP'', 253, 274.〕 Suzuki Shin'ichi retired in 1892 and he died in December 1918 at the age of 83.〔Bennett, ''PiJ'', 171.〕 ==Notes==
