The Japan Photographic Society (日本写真会 [1], Nihon Shashinkai) is a compact organization of photographers founded in 1924 that has continued to this day.
Unrelated to an earlier organization with the same name, the JPS grew out of the Shiseido Junior Photo Circle (シセイドウ・フォト・ジュニオル・サークル, ShiseidÅ Foto Junioru SÄkuru) and the KÅga-kai (光画会 [2]). [3] Founded in 1924, its first president was ShinzÅ Fukuhara, and its other founding members included the amateur photographers RosÅ Fukuhara, KiichirÅ Ishida, Isao Kakefuda, Maroni Kumazawa, YasutarÅ Mori, MasajirÅ Sakai, Hekisui Yamanaka, and JiichirÅ YasukÅchi. Among the members who joined soon after was YasuzÅ Nojima, in 1926.
From 1925, the JPS has held a joint exhibition once a year.
The JPS was suspended in 1944, but restarted in 1946.
