[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A nostalgic town scape in the old town of Gobo city.

Gobo is a small city of 24000 population on the south coast of Japan.
The city has a history of 400 years. From the end of 16th century, it had been a domain of a Pure-land-Buddhist temple. And it still is the centre of Hidaka area today.

On the streets in the old town, I felt like to be in the 1970's when I was a small child. It seems that the city has been unchanged for decades because of the decline of the local economy.

Hallo Keitaro!
Again an interesting - a bit dark and a bit poor in contrast - picture of your home. An "old fashioned" Japan which most of us do not know in this way. Again and again these wires are amazing for me... and where are street lamps, where are people here !?
Greetings from Germany - nearly without open wires ;-)
