I have many letters that were mailed in a Totsuka mail post like this.

Those letters are from long ago. They are letters I have not read for many years

Another great photo. I am so glad these older buildings remain. It is how I feel about the older buildings in the USA also. I like the structures from the older eras.

One thing about some of your photography is the contrast you provide. While this photo could be very similar to an old woodblock print, a Hiroshige, for example, some of your work features very modern and contemporary architecture

This is a scene I could have seen nearly 50 years ago. There are really no signs that I can see that identifies it as taken only a few days ago. This is, in my opinion, a classic photo of old Japan, or old Yokohama.

I especially like the three levels that appear, two from the roofs, the third from the awning. I love the colors,the deep red of the roof; I like the weathered wooden wall at the right.

Yes, everything in this photograph is pleasing to my eye,thus I find joy in viewing this work.
