外濠の美觀
The Beauty of the Outer Moat
Beyond branches hanging down from the upper left, a white building with a row of thick columns stands out. The broad foreground is lost in darkness.
About this photo
A solid black expanse fills the lower half of the photo. Beyond it, right of center, stands a large building with a long row of thick columns, and low buildings line up in the distance on the left. Fine branches hang down from the upper left, and the sky is hazy white with cloud.
Printed under the photo is the title "The Beauty of the Outer Moat" (外濠の美觀). Official sources and dictionaries did not let us pin down which moat the title's "Outer Moat" means, or what the columned building is. This description draws only on what can be seen in the photo and on its title.
