Up until 1865 Japan hardly allowed foreigners into the country. Only the Netherlands had maintained trade relations with Japan in the preceding 250 years. In 1862 the Japanese government invited Antoon Bauduin, the Utrecht officer of health, to teach at the medical school of Nagasaki. He lived with other Dutch people on the artificial island of Deshima and immediately began taking photographs.
