Comments - Terrific view of the newly built, five-story Mitsui-gumi House at Kaiunbashi, which housed the First National Bank. The Western-style lower floors are topped with a miniature castle reflecting shogunate style, complete with a tiled roof featuring leering demon ornaments. The imposing structure is surrounded with a walled courtyard enclosing with blossoming cherry trees. Visitors and business men crowd the balcony and enjoy the view from the tower above, while the street below bustles with activity. A fantastic image of this modern Meiji building, nicely detailed with vibrant color.
