Emperor Meiji reigned Japan from 1867 to 1912. During this time, Japan underwent massive social changes and opened its borders to foreigners. This lead to new Western architectural styles being implemented in buildings such as Tokyo’s Mitsubishi Ichigokan. The building was originally constructed in 1894, but was demolished in 1968 and rebuilt in the 2000s. Finally, in 2010, the new building—constructed in accordance with the plans from the original Queen Anne style one—opened as the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum.
