Yokohama at Night

To us Japanese, Yokohama harbor area is associated with Japan's modernization activities at the end of Edo era. Modern hotels were built. This was the place where ambassadors coming from abroad set their first foot on Japanese land. Many scholars started their journeys to the world from here. Trade ships came and went, carrying goods such as silk and lackerware. Yokohama was the gateway to the world. The warehouse area has been renovated recently into shopping centers and amusement centers. I went to this area to take pictures of Yokohama at night. (August 10, 2006)
