Tokyo Shrines with Photos of Japanese People from 100 Years Ago

When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you are often surprised by the sacred places that have been protected by people.
Floods, fires, earthquakes, war damage, and materialism.
Small shrines, shrines on the rooftops of buildings, shrines directly under the highway.
Sacred places that are with people in any form, and the guardians that protect them.
I made this video because I wanted to share these beautiful images.
Japanese landscapes and Japanese people from the past that remain in old photos.
There is a Japan that seems to be forgotten. I really don't want to forget the forgotten Japan.
The photos are from around 100 years ago, some from about 150 years ago, and some from 85 years ago.
Please feel the connection with the people of the past.
