Town Honcho-Dori Yokohama

from New York Public Library

    This was the main street leading out from the port in the trade zone of Yokohama. The new Minato-Mirai subway was built underneath Honcho-doori. Another shot along Honcho-doori from the City of Yokohama site, either later or in a different spot. Nagasaki University's photo collection calls this "Hon-machi-doori" in their database and "Honcho-doori" in translated captions, but Honcho is correct for this spot. In English "Main Street in Yokohama". From Nagasaki University's digital archive: photo of street with German Club; more shots 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 8, 9, 4 (in snow), 10,11, 12). #1 is exactly the same as this NYPL photo, and comes from the Nagasaki University's Kusakabe Kimbei album. Other photos from a variety of photographers. Hon=Main Chou/machi=Town (same character, two readings, both honchou and honmachi are common readings) Doori=Street

    Meijitaisho.net has a letter from Kusakabe which lists his business address as 8 Honcho-doori, Yokohama. His studio was on this street from 1890.

    Thanks for the information. I am doing some work on old Yokohama and all the feedback I get is appreciated. RobertRob Ketcherside

    I know, I know, Van Gogh would not have had a camera, but it is all part of this fictional adventure. Let us, then, assume that had Vincent had a camera he would have snapped some great photos. I know I would have.
