第一會場正門

Main Gate, First Venue

Nakajima Park, Sapporo, Hokkaido · 1918 (Taisho era)

The front of a hall lined with white columns. Beyond its roof, dark shapes like trees crowd together.

About this photo

In the middle of the wide open ground stands a single small figure. Beyond it rise a large columned hall and a second hall with rows of windows, and above them spreads a blank white sky.

The title, written from right to left, is "Main Gate, First Venue." At the Hokkaido Exhibition of 1918, the first venue was in Nakajima Park, in what was then Sapporo Ward.

Across the front of the hall, white columns stand at even intervals, the gaps between them in deep black. Above the roof, shadows like dark trees mass thickly, sharply outlining the white hall.
