YOKOHAMA STREET SCENE 1880S
Imagine, for a moment, the unbelievable transformation of Yokohama from 1880 to 1980.

Imagine too, if Vincent Van Gogh, had, indeed, visited Japan secretly to gain a new perspective on life and to gain new subject matter. If Van Gogh had visited Yokohama, I doubt that he would have ended his life, but would have been transformed and would have been victorious over his depression and despondent state of mind.
