"Very Old Japanese Magazines / 昔の日本雑誌"

I was recently shown some very old (wood-block printed) Japanese magazines that I was told are from the Edo Era.  I'm not an expert in old publications like this, but they were very interesting to have a first-hand look at!  Notice that two of the hand-sewn-binding magazines put together form one picture (magazine 1/2 and 2/2).

"From Fixed-Focus Kodak Box to Digital Photography"

Looking back at a 50+ years-old Kodak Duoflex-IV camera brings back memories of what photography was when I was a child, and then, reconsidering my digital camera, the digital camera suddenly seems like some kind of ultra-modern device from a science fiction novel!
The contrast really is amazing!  The amount of technology in what are now run-of-the-mill (now there's an old expression for you) devices is quite amazing when you stop and try to really comprehend just how much technology is in a typical digital camera.

The sophistication of modern cameras make it so easy to take good pictures that some of the magic of film photography with old cameras is hard to imagine.  Holding this 50+ year-old camera (manufactured from 1955-60) in my hands brings back so many memories....

"Ginza, Shinjuku, Yurakucho, and Bettara-Ichi Festival, Etc."

Another batch of video clips, starting with various train trips - Kanda to Yurakucho, Hibiya to Ginza, a Saitama countryside view from a moving train window, and various station views while changing trains, etc.  Then there are some views of a large new construction project near the south exit of Shinjuku Station (which is technically in Shibuya-ku).  Mixed in are Ginza, Yurakucho, Shinjuku, etc. street views, a view from a bus ride, a view of part of an interesting exhibition/installation at a Ginza art gallery (by Ohtani Noriyuki), an Okuno Building view, and then several clips from the 2011 Bettara-Ichi Festival in Tokyo - taken on October 19th.  The festival was interesting for me, as it has a long history (held every year on October 19th and 20th, regardless of the day of the week), but this year was the first time I personally experienced it.
