Our Company
Photo Japan was founded in 1984 in Kyoto, Japan by Kenneth Hamm. A year later the company officially entered the stock photography business with its first photo sale...the cover of a local magazine called Kansai Time Out . In 1986 the office moved to Vashon Island, Washington, USA, a rural community just outside the city of Seattle. Kenneth Hamm is the chief business operator and photographer. Our staff includes a native Japanese for research and language support. Since establishing a presence on the Internet in July of 1997, Photo Japan continues to deliver quality images to creatives and professionals the world over.
     
Our Mission
Our mission from the beginning has been to provide a diverse collection of professional-quality photos of Japan to businesses worldwide at affordable prices. Our rights-managed Licensing Agreement enables us to deliver images tailored specifically to project needs and budgets. Focusing our efforts exclusively on images of Japan benefits our clients with the best possible product and service available in this specialized field. With resources on both sides of the Pacific, we are in a unique position to supplement our services with extensive knowledge and understanding of the Japanese culture.
     
Our Goal
The Internet has successfully proven itself as our primary marketing tool. Aside from regular additions to our database of fresh, dynamic images, we are acquiring historical photos from Japan's Meiji, Taisho and Showa periods for our Vintage Archive.
