The Foreign Office, Yedo [Tokyo]. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the Foreign Office buildings in the castle at Tokyo: 'The building now occupied by Gaimusho or Foreign Office, was formerly the property of the Prince of Kuroda, and is situate within the precincts of the castle. It is a good specimen of the yashikis which abound by hundreds in Yedo. They were all on the same plan — a large one-storied building for the Prince in the middle of a large quadrangle, which was surrounded by the dwellings of the kerai or retainers ... Since the change of government, the yashikis, with few exceptions have stood empty — and several of them have been taken by government for barracks or public offices.' (p. 88).
