Fukiage Park, the Imperial Palace

吹上御苑の西側､半蔵門を入って直ぐの所に広がっていた竹林である｡写真3937と同じ時(おそらく明治10年代)に撮られた写真であろう｡竹の形が同じである｡植木職人らしき人物2人は､3937に写る3人の中の2人であろう｡この写真が販売されたのは明治中期と思われる｡The bamboo grove stretched to the right inside Hanzo-mon (gate) on the west side of Fukiage Garden. The photograph may have been taken around the same time as photograph #3937, because the shape of the bamboo trees is similar. The two men, probably gardeners, may be two of the three men portrayed in photograph #3937. This photograph is thought to have been sold in the mid-Meiji Period
