Its title Kurobe Gold is posted on both edges of the interior of an awesome range of the mountains in Kurobe, which was once called the unexplored region. Several lines between the mountains indicate that exploitation is destined to occur and announce the dramatic opening. The drawing of a bird’s eye view in its center is taken from a package picture of sightseeing postcards designed by Japan Electric Power Co., Ltd.
