An unveiling ceremony for a memorial to Chinese in Tokyo is the subject named for this glass negative, though the title comes from unverified data the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or caption cards, so the exact occasion and the people honored are not confirmed. The Bain agency was a New York news picture service that sent photographs of events from around the world in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates were often captioned briefly and rushed into print. Public memorial unveilings of this kind usually drew officials, community representatives and onlookers, and images like this one document how such ceremonies were staged in Tokyo during that era.
