Images of Old Japan

On our Nakasendo walking tour we pass through old post towns and villages that date back centuries. The Old Photos of Japan blog by Kjeld Duits is a great resource that compliments this look back with photos dating from the Meiji(1868-1912), Taisho(1912-1926) and Showa (1926-1989) periods.
