EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Triumphal Arch in Tokyo's Hibiya district, erected in 1895 to celebrate the return of Emperor Meiji to the capital city following the successful conclusion of the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895). The arch, a testament to Japan's newfound military power and national pride, was a significant symbol of the country's emergence as a major world power. Emperor Meiji, who reigned from 1867 to 1912, led Japan through a period of modernization and westernization, transforming the country from a feudal society into a modern industrial state. The First Sino-Japanese War marked a turning point in Japan's history, as it secured Japan's position in East Asia and established its dominance over China. The Triumphal Arch, designed by the French architect Ernest Hebrard, was built in the neoclassical style and stood at a height of 18 meters. It was decorated with intricate carvings and sculptures, including a statue of the goddess of victory, Nike, at the top. The arch was illuminated at night, adding to its grandeur and making it a popular tourist attraction. The photograph, taken in 1895, provides a glimpse into Japan's rich history and its transformation from a feudal society to a modern industrial power. The Triumphal Arch, a symbol of Japan's military and national pride, stands as a reminder of the country's past achievements and its continued progress towards the future.
