Nin-ô jûgo-dai Jingô Kôgô Sankan seibatsu Takenouchi....Japanese troops lever an enormous rock over a precipice above a Korean city. The name cartouches have been left blank for some reason. One feels the extreme verticality of the perspective as well as the foreign-ness of the city below. Indeed, it looks more like a European city than a Korean city somehow.
