Gradually the sky was darkening. It was dusk. The sky over Yasukuni Jinja Shrine had turned into a beautiful sunset. A small silhouette was floating in the orange sky. 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.
By the way, this statue is said to be the first Western-style statue made in Japan. It is said to be looking toward Ueno, where he fought against the Shogunate forces.
