Gorō Yamamoto

Gorō Yamamoto (山本 五郎 (Yamamoto Gorō), 1880–1941) was a Japanese photographic-materials merchant and amateur photographer active in Nagoya. He ran Yamamoto Gorō Shoten (a photographic materials store) and was a founding member—and later representative—of Aiyū Shashin Kurabu (Aiyū Photo Club), an early pictorialist-oriented amateur photography circle whose regular meetings were tied to his shop and whose exhibition albums (Aiyū gashū) were issued under his name. He was the father of the avant-garde photographer-poet Kansuke Yamamoto.
