Comments - Interesting scene of a city during the Meiji era, featuring a large plaza flanked with two tiered fountains topped with statues of cranes. Many pedestrians stroll about the square, including foreigners in Western dress, two Chinese men with long pigtails, and a policeman carrying a baton. At right, a crowd has gathered in the entrance of a modern building with crossed Japanese flags above the doorway. In the center, a clock tower stands over the street, and pennants wave from a brick building in the distance. An intriguing subject with wonderful detail in the setting and fine bokashi shading in the sky.
