Charles Wirgman

Charles Wirgman (31 August 1832 - 8 February 1891) was an English cartoonist, creator of the Japan Punch and illustrator in Meiji period Japan for the Illustrated London News.

Wirgman arrived in Japan in 1861 as a correspondent for the Illustrated London News, and resided in Yokohama from 1861 until his death. He published the first magazine in Japan, the Japan Punch, monthly between 1862 and spring 1887. The magazine was written in a humorous, often satirical manner, and was illustrated with WIrgman’s cartoons.

Wirgman formed a partnership called “Beato & Wirgman, Artists and Photographers” with Felice Beato from 1864–1867. Wirgman again produced illustrations derived from Beato's photographs while Beato photographed some of Wirgman's sketches and other works

Wirgman also taught western-style drawing and painting techniques to a number of Japanese artists, most notably the ukiyoe artist Kobayashi Korechika.

In the 1860s, he accompanied British envoy Sir Ernest Satow on a number of journeys around Japan as described in Satow's Diplomat in Japan.

Wirgman's grave is in the Yokohama international cemetery.
