Impressions: A steam locomotive pulling into the train station, streetcars on the street, 1960s cars all over the place, wooden bridges (even for cars), a cattle farm, a large rice paddy, and a cabbage patch. You don't see these things anymore in Tokyo.

The photographer shows pictures of Tokyo's streets mainly from the 1960s. The pictures are divided into the 23 wards of Tokyo. The location is stated in the caption, but you really have to know the area or street to recognize how it has changed. There are no "now" photos for comparison.

There are a lot of photos, and with six printings already, this book has been selling very well.
