Thinking About This Photograph

 This photo was taken on May 1993 in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 I took a snapshot of a foreign woman standing in front of the “Ginza Wako Building” at the Ginza 4-chome intersection.

 The “Ginza Wako Building” is a building that escaped from the air strikes of World War II, and all the other buildings at the Ginza 4-chome intersection were destroyed.

 I am happy to be able to see old Japanese modern architecture in the center of Ginza.

 Is the foreign woman in the picture a Spanish person?

 I don’t know the details, but she wore clothes that Japanese women at that time didn’t wear, so I realized at a glance that she was a foreigner.

 She has a video camera, so she may be a journalist.

 Looking back at the photos 30 years ago, I realized again that foreigners were also coming to Japan at that time.
