Second National Industrial Exhibition

Comments - Great view of the Second National Industrial Exhibition held in Ueno Park in Tokyo in 1881. The large entrance plaza is flanked with two tiered fountains topped with statues of cranes. Many visitor 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 leading to more exhibit buildings, 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.
