When that photo was taken I suspect it was the Dai-Ichi Insurance Company.

Meiji-maru belonged to the Ministry of Transport of Japan and was operated by 53 British crew (Captain Robert H. Peters) till 1893 when Japanese crews were trained. Disposed to Tokyo Merchant-marine School as a training ship in 1897.For which part of the crew?
The transformation of Japan from the late 19th century to the early 20th is astonishing. The speed that almost everything changed and the fact that so much underlying culture remained (and remains) is, to me, a testament to the resilience of Japan.BTW, Tokyo was a modern city in the 1930s.

In May, I had the opportunity to visit Chattanooga TN. The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum operates live steam on 3 miles of very dynamic rail. The locomotive that day was a 2-8-2. This type was very versatile and so many were exported to Japan in the inter-war years that it was nicknamed the Mikado.
