They are a&nbsp;special feature of the history of photography in the Asia-Pacific region. Many of the ambrotypists appear to have travelled from region to region and operated regularly from popular parks and temples. The portraits mostly have rather austere backdrops such as simple plain cloth temporarily erected in situ. Sitters are frequently shown with Western props such as Western umbrellas and chairs to show their modernity. Despite the simplicity, the Japanese ambrotype genre is full of variety and often marked by a&nbsp;certain informality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>and here\u2019s a&nbsp;few images \u2014 but you must visit to
