Copyrighted 1939 K. Tenniti Published by The Albertype Company Brooklyn, N. Y. JAPANESE PAVILION New York World's Fair 1939 The classic Shinto shrine of the third century B. C. considered the purest of original Japanese architecture served as model for the Japanese Pavilion. The style is known as "Shimmei-zukuri". Simplicity and the arrangement of horizontal lines convey an impression of purity. The structure as a whole, because of its proportions, makes a noble spiritual effect, not unlike that of a classic Greek temple. Photograph by Henry S. Yamada. The Finest American Made Art Pictures
