Beautiful pictures. I do wish someone would come up with a format for photoblogs so that I could see more than 3 images at once, though.

These are great--especially the painstakingly tinted ones. And many are accompanied by little history lessons.

Or just Edo-fy any photo!

Nifty. As the focus of my history studies was Meiji Era Japan (1868-1920) those pix are right up my street. Thanks!

I love these, but as I look at them I find part of my brain wondering: hmmm...has this been Edo-fied?

What ameca said, presuming it's something complimentary about the site in Japanese.

Wish there were more Tokyo pictures, though... The Tokyo station pic was an eye-opener. Didn't know that it used to be bigger AND that there were beautiful domes on either side that were destroyed during Allied fire bombings in WWII.

Aww! "Problem loading page." I'll wrap it and put it in the fridge for later.
