Arima Road, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan (circa 1910s) - This evocative postcard image transports us back in time to the bustling Arima Road in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan during the 1910s. The scene is filled with a vibrant mix of shops and stalls, each adorned with colorful signs and banners, enticing passersby with their wares. The telegraph poles and wires, a common sight during this era, stand tall against the backdrop of the narrow street, while telephone lines crisscross above, symbolizing the growing connectivity and communication networks of the time. The shops, with their intricate wooden facades and traditional Japanese design elements, offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with people going about their daily business, and the sounds of commerce filling the air. The shops sell a variety of goods, from textiles and ceramics to food and household items. The aroma of freshly cooked food wafts through the air, tempting the senses and adding to the sensory experience of this bustling street scene. Arima Road, located in the heart of Kobe, was a popular shopping destination for both locals and tourists alike, and this postcard image captures the essence of that bygone era. The image, taken by Grenville Collins, provides a unique window into Japan's past and offers a fascinating glimpse into the country's rich history and cultural traditions.
