Photos from TOKYO! circa 1950-1965 (Picture Heavy) (Original Post) yuiyoshida Jun 2015 OP
Not all from the early '50s. I see a '63 Dodge Coronet in there and a Toyopet of the same vintage. leveymg Jun 2015 #1

No sign of cell phones, yet. Interesting.

I'd date most of these c. 1955-65. The River Festival shots appear to be a bit older, though. Not nit-picking. Thanks!

and the photos at the link, wow. I wish you could post most of them. Japan has grown into a huge financial power since World War II, and here you can see the growth spurts.. considering that Tokyo had been fire bombed and mostly destroyed during the last days of the war. Thanks for posting this..
