The small silhouette in the lower center of the photo is the statue of Masujiro Omura, who stands in the middle of the approach to Yasukuni Jinja Shrine. The statue of Omura Masujiro, who is also known as the founder of the Imperial Japanese Army, stands in the middle of the wide approach to Yasukuni Shrine.
