Ohashi Otowa, 1899, reproduced in Mori Junzaburo, 'Ogai Mori Rintaro' (1942); National Diet Library, Japan, Portraits of Modern Japanese Historical Figures · Full-length photograph of Mori Ōgai in army surgeon's uniform with plumed hat in hand, in the garden in front of the Kanchoro tea room, taken in June 1899 on the day before he left for Kokura, by Ohashi Otowa (1869-1901). The printed caption in the 1942 book 'Ogai Mori Rintaro' by Mori Junzaburo (Marui Shoten; National Diet Library Digital Collection record, access restriction Public Domain Mark) names the sitter, date, place and photographer; the same image is shown as the first of five portraits on the National Diet Library's exhibition page for MORI Ogai (file 0342_1.jpg). Rights basis: the photograph was taken in 1899 and the named photographer died in 1901 (Japanese Wikipedia, orientation only), so it is public domain by age in Japan, and as a Japanese work already out of copyright in 1996 it was not restored in the United States; the National Diet Library's exhibition states that all images in the exhibition are in the public domain and may be reused including commercially with source citation. The page does not carry a separate item-level statement for each photograph, so the rationale rests on photographer, date and age as well as that institutional statement. The file is the halftone reproduction as served by the library at 884 x 1281 pixels, cropped only to remove the printed caption and the border (832 x 1168 pixels); no scaling or upscaling. · Public domain (photograph of 1899 by Ohashi Otowa, died 1901; National Diet Library states all images in its exhibition are in the public domain)
