Tatsuno Kingo was a prominent Meiji period architect, known in particular for the Bank of Japan building, completed in 1896, and Tokyo Station.
His design for the Bank of Japan closely resembles that of the Bank of Belgium, which he visited, along with other European bank buildings, at the urging of Minister Matsukata Masayoshi.[1]
