BENTEN STREET in OLD YOKOHAMA, JAPAN

BENTEN STREET in OLD YOKOHAMA, JAPAN, a photo by Okinawa Soba (On the Road for a Week) on Flickr.

I LOVE THE LANTERNS IN OLD YOKOHAMA
What I would give to be able to walk that street then, like a trip back into time.

Man, I can get lost in your photos. One can only imagine the glow one would experience walking this street after dark, especially if one had several of the small cups of quality sake. Yes, the sounds, the aromas, the sound of the sami-san, going back in time...good-bye.

What a trip it would be. Thanks to Okinawa Soba for his most excellent collection of old photographs of a Japan of a by-gone era, the 1880s through the 1900s. Browse his Flickr photostream and you will be fascinated beyond belief.
