EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Commercial Centre of Kobe, Japan, specifically in the district of Sakaemachi, circa 1910s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant economic heart of this thriving city. The main street, lined with various shops and cafes, is a testament to the area's rich commercial history. The overhead wires and trams are a clear indication of the district's advanced transportation system, enabling the smooth circulation of people and goods. The presence of the trams adds an element of modernity to the scene, contrasting with the traditional Japanese architecture of the buildings. The diamond-shaped signage on the buildings is a distinctive feature of Sakaemachi, reflecting the area's reputation as a major trading hub. The cafes, with their inviting facades and patrons enjoying their beverages, serve as gathering places for businessmen and locals alike. The energy and dynamism of Sakaemachi are palpable in this photograph, making it an intriguing window into the commercial life of Kobe during the early 20th century. This image offers a unique perspective on Japan's economic past and the role that Sakaemachi played in the country's commercial landscape.
