Street - Yokohama


Street - Yokohama

This street looks most familiar. Do you remember if there is or ever was a small coffee shop here. It was named, Wein. Coffee, soft French music and wine was the feature for the romantic clientiele who lingered and listened to the music. Only steps away were bookshops were many English Penguin Brand books were sold. When I returned home to the USA, I was amazed at the number of books I had purchased. Many of the books that were written about Japan at that point in time were published by the Charles Tuttle Company. Through the years, I have acquired some fine collectible books about Japan, including a rare book by Heardon. You have taken some great local shots of Yokohama. I really enjoy them. Thanks, Robert
