Typed caption in margin: "Sojiji Temple."

Typed caption on verso: "No information can be gathered on this Temple, however, it has it's [its] definite purpose as do all the other places of worship. The roofs on all homes, dwellings, temples, etc., are built with patience and untiring effort. The tradition behind that is that, as the rood faces heavenword [heavenward], it is believed that they owe all they have to the Gods, and most of the expense that goes into a home, or the like, goes on the roof."Creation Datecirca 1945-1952SubjectJapan--History--Allied occupation, 1945-1952TemplesPlaceYokohama-shi (Japan)JapanOriginal Formatphotographic printsBibliographic CitationThe Lloyd R.
