凌雲閣・觀覽車（淺草公園）
Ryounkaku and Ferris Wheel (Asakusa Park)
In a single frame, a giant Ferris wheel stands side by side with a tall, pointed tower. The mix of circle and straight lines makes it a fun picture.
About this photo
The frame is split in two by a vertical line. On the left, a round wheel stands large, with small box-like shapes lined up all around its rim. On the right, a slender tower with a pointed top rises straight into the white sky. To the left of the wheel stands a single thin pole. At the foot of both, dark buildings and trees cluster together.
Above the photo, two titles are printed side by side: "Ryounkaku (Asakusa Park)" and "Ferris Wheel (Asakusa Park)." The tower on the right is the Ryounkaku, which was completed in 1890 and became one of Asakusa's famous sights.
