The National Diet Building, Tokyo, Japan - Postwar Occupation-Era Photograph
The National Diet Building, Tokyo, Japan. Completed in 1936, this granite structure remains the seat of Japan's national legislature. This photograph, preserved in a personal album belonging to a member of a U.S. Navy air transport squadron, reflects the enduring American military presence in Japan during the Allied Occupation following World War II, when the building was a familiar sight to visiting servicemen.
