The Imperial luncheon was a bril- liant affair, at which the foreign military attaches of the embassies and legatione in Tokyo were con- spienous, in their vari-coloured uni- forma, among the guests.
The luncheon was given under large marquees in the open air, ar- ranged around square, with smaller marquee, at the upper end for the Emperor and his immediate guests.
At the review which preceded the luncheon, the Emperor inspected the troops, consisting of the North Army under Lieutenant-General Yoshikateu Aramaki and the South Army under Lieutenant-General Keiichi Harada, which took part in the manoeuvres.
