第一會場北極館全景

Full View of the Hokkyokukan (Arctic Pavilion), First Venue

Hokkaido · 1918 (Taisho era)

A single slender tower rises straight into the white sky. Between the trees on either side, at the tower's foot, a white building sits low.

About this photo

People stand scattered across the open square in the foreground. Look into the distance from their eye level, and in the middle, flanked by trees, the slender tower climbs into the sky. A low white building sits at its foot, and above, the pale sky opens wide.

The Hokkaido Exhibition was held in 1918 to mark 50 years since Ezochi was given the name Hokkaido in 1869. The title under the photo: "Full View of the Hokkyokukan (Arctic Pavilion), First Venue."
