A walk in the area surrounding the Port of Yokohama is an experience that gives us an opportunity to think of a long way Japan has come in terms of modernization. Once a small fishing village, the area was developed by the Japanese government as one of the five ports open to the outside Japan back in 1858. Since then it has grown to be one of the biggest and busiest commercial and industrial ports in Japan.
These red-brick warehouses in this painting used to be customs houses built by the port. They were renovated now to serve for cultural and commercial purposes. Right on the waterfront promenade in a park-like setting, it is a lovely area for a short visit to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere of the port.
