Sanshichiro YAMAMOTO 山本讃七郎 (1855-1943) was a Japanese photographer, born in Okayama Prefecture.
He had a photography studio in Shibahikage-cho (near present day Shimbashi Station) in Tokyo, Japan, from 1882 to about 1897.
When news of the Boxer Uprising swept the world, he quickly went to Peking (Beijing) to photograph the historic activities of foreign troops in the capitol, including the Japanese.
After photographing the aftermath in Peking (Beijing), he finally settled down in Tientsin (Tianjin)
and opened his third photographic studio (Yamamoto Shōzō Kan or Yamamoto Syozo House),
from where he sold photographs, souvenir photobooks and coloured post cards, taken in and around Beijing and North China
