丸ビル風景
Marubiru Scene
Under a sky of layered clouds, a lone streetlight stands on a wide, empty road. You can see down the road all the way to the distant rows of houses.
About this photo
A tall building with row upon row of windows runs from the near right into the distance. On the left stands another large, dark building, and between the two, a wide road runs straight back. From a white-edged platform in the foreground, the thin post of a streetlight rises neatly into the sky.
The title is "Marubiru Scene" (丸ビル風景). Marubiru is short for the Marunouchi Building in Tokyo's Marunouchi district, and the original building was completed in 1923. By 1940, when this album came out, about 17 years had passed since its completion.
At the corner of the building on the right, a single column of windows is bright, drawing a white line down the dark wall from top to bottom.
