This postcard is of the second imperial hotel built in 1923. It is similar in design to many buildings of its era in that it molds traditional Japanese aspects with the rapidly popular westernized design of that time. The design and construction was split between American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and finished by his apprentice Arata Endo, giving further insight to the buildings unique design. -Larry Allen
