No.601 A group photo under a banner inscribed with "Celebrating the 2600th Anniversary of the Imperial Era"

This photo was taken in the year marking the 2600th anniversary since Emperor Jimmu was said to have ascended to the throne at Kashihara-jingu Shrine. To promote patriotic sentiment toward Shinkoku Nihon (the divine land of Japan), grand celebrations and ceremonies were held throughout the country to commemorate the 2600th year of the Imperial Era. The two-story wooden building in the background is a branch office of the Azabu Ward Office at that time. Today, an emergency supplies storehouse, fire brigade warehouse, and the storehouse of Takanawa Kyowakai have been built at this location.
