A pond lost to history tells Tokyo’s story…
Fascinating and well researched bit of history on this part of Tokyo. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you, Theodore!
Who or whom had the vision to take a salt marsh and see what it could be. Then attract so many to a place of beauty and serenity. I was amazed to see so many attracted to the place so quickly, 300,000 wow!
Some sources claim even higher numbers by that time. In the 1700s Edo counted about a million inhabitants, the largest city in the world.
Very nice! I enjoyed seeing the transformation. Really, incredible engineering. Thank you.
It is amazing what was achieved so quickly in those early days, right? And I love how beautiful and approachable it all looked.
Excellent article, thank you!
Thank you for your kind words, Julian. Three more to come in this series 😊
I felt transported to old Edo!
Wonderful! That is exactly what I aspire to accomplish, bring old Japan back to life.
