I have started to post many photos taken in Sendai-shi on my new blog there. If you would like to see what Japan was like in 1953 take a look at the blog.

steve,
I prefer such drapes of Japanese shops because they separate the outer from the inner very softly.

lezard,
anytime welcomed!!
We seem to prefer small things!

ben,
This is a shop at Tokyo Mid-town in Roppongi. This shopping town replaced Boei-cho so you may not have been there.

oldmanlincoln,
Perhaps have you eaten such bean sweet in Tokyo??

No, I haven't been there and even I didn't know the Boei-cho was replaced by shopping town. Tokyo is changing so rapidly or may be I haven't went back enough.
