These rubbings were taken approximately 51 years ago at the Gotōji Engine Depot. At the time, I was given permission to enter the engine depot, and I was able to wander around the locomotives relatively freely. I believe this generosity was due to the kindness of the engine depot staff towards SL fans. It's unimaginable now. At the time of the visit, I not only took photographs but also took these rubbings by climbing onto the locomotives. The paper is roll Japanese paper, cut to the size of the plates, and the images were brought out by rubbing with soot from the locomotives. As these are rubbings from half a century ago, some deterioration due to age is unavoidable. Please be aware of this. Please take a good look at the photos provided and consider purchasing only if you are satisfied. We kindly request that you refrain from returns, refunds, cancellations, or complaints.
