Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents
Five postcards from Japan dated after the Japanese victory in the Russo-Japanese War. Most of the images are of temporary triumphal arches 凱旋門 emulating Western architecture and war imagery. These structures were built to celebrate the success of the Japanese navy and welcome returning troops. Elaborate arches made of wood and plaster were built in large public areas and smaller arches made of cedar were constructed in towns throughout Japan. Most were disassembled after celebrating. The arches in these postcards were located in Shinbashi, Ueno Park, Manseibashi and Azabu. Also included in the collection is a postcard showing vignettes of the consort and three sons of Crown Prince Yoshihito, as well as Akasaka Palace, their formal residence.
