Photographer’s Note
These are the gardens of the memorial shrine that honors the military commander Admiral Heihachiro Togo (1848-1934) who was campaign commander in the defining 1905 victory against Russia at the Tsushima Straits.
From 1914-1924 Togo supervised former Emperor Hirohito's education. In 1940 the shrine was established but destroyed in the air bombings of 1945. It was replaced by a contemporary building in 1969 and a memorial hall was added.
