Sankei Postwar Showa Photographs

Postby Mulboyne » Mon Nov 05, 2007 7:03 am

I'm not sure why, but IZA, one of the Sankei media group websites, put up a series of photographs of Showa Japan. There's probably a related anniversary or an exhibition. Their gallery isn't the most user friendly but they start from around here if you want to browse. These are some I found interesting:

The first Hikari Tokaido Shinkansen at Tokyo Station in 1964:
