Japanese schoolgirls with booklets at a funeral ceremony

Under the broad leaves of a tree, a close crowd of schoolgirls in dark uniforms with white sailor collars and ties stands in rows; each holds a small open booklet at her chest, and most look down at the page, as if reading or singing. According to the source, the scene belongs to the funeral of Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō in Tokyo in 1934. Tōgō, who had destroyed the Russian fleet at Tsushima in 1905, died on 30 May 1934 and was given a state funeral on 5 June.
