About This Print
In 1973, on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Komono Elementary School in the small city of Komono about 90 miles due east of Kyoto in Mie Prefecture, Tokuriki issued two prints to mark the occasion. This collection's print depicts the old administrative building, built in 1934. The second print, shown below depicts the site of the castle ruins located next to the school.Today, this beautiful building is gone, as are the other early structures, replaced by unattractive and blocky white buildings.
