Photo-Times
Photo-Times[1] (フォトタイムス, Foto taimusu) was a Japanese monthly photographic magazine that lasted from 1924 until 1940.
Photo-Times was ostensibly published by "Photo Times–sha", which was in fact the publicity division of the film maker Oriental Shashin Kōgyō. Its first issue is dated March 1924. The magazine showed an unusual degree of interest in new aesthetic and photographic ideas from the west, especially from around 1938.
The last issue was dated December 1940; it was thereupon combined with Camera Art to create the new magazine Hōdō Shashin.
Note
