A commemorative publication looking back at 150 years of Kobe's history through photographs. [Sold Out] 150 Years of Kobe [Commemorative Publication for the 150th Anniversary of the Opening of the Port of Kobe] From the Meiji era to the Heisei era—. A gem of a book that looks back on "150 Years of Kobe" that walked alongside the port, with over 600 valuable and nostalgic photographs! This book is a stunning volume of photo collections, containing over 600 photographs taken in Kobe from the Meiji era to the early Heisei era. Through careful research, many previously unreleased photographs have been discovered. Each photograph is accompanied by easy-to-understand commentary by writers who deeply understand the local area, and the book is edited so that "old Kobe" comes back to life with every page you turn. In addition to nostalgic townscapes, shopping streets, drastically changed suburban landscapes, railway stations that no longer exist, and the lively 모습 of children, photo columns such as "The Phantom Kobe Tower," "Kobe Port in Those Days," "Minato Festival and Kobe Festival," and "Records of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake" are included, covering interesting topics. First edition only, limited to 3,000 copies. I purchased this book as a memento because it was a limited edition. I have only looked through it once, so it is almost unused. It has been stored at home and in a storage room, so there may be some age-related deterioration. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this, as it is stored at home.
