Old Photographs of Japan
http://www.oldphotosjapan.com
"A multilingual photoblog with daily uploads of rare photographs and postcards of Japan between 1860 and the 1930's.
These images display an abundance of information about the urban settings and customs of Japan. This is further augmented by well-researched articles accompanying the images. Many of the articles contain maps and additional illustrations, making them a very useful resource on modern Japan, especially the Meiji, Taisho and early Showa periods.
The photographs can be searched by keyword, period, theme, location, photographer and medium."
Interesting also are the Google Maps. They make it possible to find the exact location displayed in the image. Kjeld mentioned also that he plans to add very soon photographs of Yokohama.
