眺 means 'watch'

The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 defined the Taisho era (1912–1924). As this bundle shows, the quake destroyed Japan's earliest Western-style skyscraper, a 12-story structure housing the country's first electric elevator. A firestorm sparked by the quake burned the famous willows of the Ginza area in Tokyo. The devastation also produced some unexpected outcomes. A doctor discovered "crush syndrome," an affliction befalling victims trapped under masonry. And the earthquake disaster inspired a haircut that enabled men to comb their hair quickly. Efficiency with that task gave them extra time to assist in the Kanto recovery! That hairstyle still exists!
