EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, we find three prominent Japanese diplomats: Vice Adm. Isamu Takeshita, Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, and Ambassador Saionji Kimmochi Sato. The image captures a significant moment in international relations as these men embarked on a mission to the United States during the first world war. Vice Adm. Takeshita, a naval officer, served as the Japanese Navy's chief of the Naval War College and later became the commander of the 1st Fleet. Viscount Ishii, an aristocrat and politician, was a member of the Japanese House of Peers and served as the Japanese Minister to the United States from 1914 to 1918. Ambassador Sato, also an aristocrat and politician, was a member of the Japanese Diet and served as the Japanese Ambassador to the United States from 1912 to 1918. The three men are dressed in formal attire, reflecting their high-ranking positions and the diplomatic nature of their mission. The photograph was likely taken at the time of their arrival or departure from the United States, making it an important record of this significant moment in Japanese-American diplomatic history. The image, with its crisp details and excellent composition, is a testament to the skill of the Harris & Ewing photographers and their ability to capture history in the making. This photograph is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, providing a valuable glimpse into the past and a reminder of the complex diplomatic relationships that existed between nations during the first world war. The image is a reminder of the importance of diplomacy and international relations, and the role that individuals play in shaping the course of history.
