Extremely cool. I went to a museum to see an instillation of their work. The above 6 frames actually has like… 12 more of some extremely goofy/ cartoon poses he did. He was a lighthearted, somewhat silly person.
He also did some of the best documentation of indigenous communities in the period. Like he wasn’t trying to capture the “noble savage” shit.
Could have been?!?!?
BRUH THIS FUCKING GUY: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_S._Matsura
Literally the youngest son of a disgraced samurai family from the Tokugawa Shogunate. He left for the west after both his parents died of disease.
