第一會場正門

Main Gate of the First Venue

1922 (Taisho era)

Against the white sky, two slender poles stand straight up. In front of the main gate of the exhibition's first venue, dark shapes like people's heads crowd together in rows.

About this photo

Under a bright white sky, a long structure stretches from left to right. Toward the left, two slender poles rise straight up into the sky. The lower half of the picture sinks into darkness, and in front of the structure, dark shapes crowd and overlap.

The Peace Commemorative Tokyo Exhibition was held by Tokyo Prefecture in 1922, prompted by the end of the First World War. The album's table of contents is divided into the "First Venue" and the "Second Venue," and the photos from inside the first venue begin right after this main gate.
