The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, the subject of this view, was designed by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and opened in 1923, the same year the Great Kanto earthquake struck the city. Its low, horizontal masonry structure came through the quake far better than many buildings nearby, which helped build its reputation abroad. The hotel drew foreign visitors and diplomats in the years between the wars, and its mix of Western hotel service with Japanese-inspired detail made it a well-known landmark. The record offers little beyond the name and place, so the picture is best read as a glimpse of the hotel during that stretch of the city's modern history.
