Street - Yokohama

Street - Yokohama, originally uploaded by Quietude.

THIS STREET BRINGS BACK FOND MEMORIES OF MY MANY WONDERFUL SATURDAY AFTERNOONS IN YOKOHAMA.

This street looks most familiar. Do you remember if there is, or ever was, a small coffee shop here. It was named, Wein. Coffee, French music and wine were the features for the romantic patrons who lingered and listened to the music.

Only steps away were bookshops where many English Penguin Brand books were sold. When I returned home to the USA, I was amazed at the number of books I had purchased. Many of the books that were written about Japan at that point in time were published by the Charles Tuttle Company. Through the years, I have acquired some fine collectible books about Japan, including a rare edition by Lafcadio Hearn.

Naturally, the port city of Yokohama looks totally different than it did when I was riding its street cars and walking wherever, but there are little corners of familiar spots that I recall with great fondness. You have captured some great photos and I thank you for sharing them with me and millions of others who browse the internet.
