At Ginza Line's Nihonbashi Station, an amazing stained glass work depicting the area as it is the last 400 years with images from the Edo period getting mixed with images from the Meiji period, the Taisho period, the Showa period, the Heisei period and the current, Reiwa period. One day I will go to photograph it piece by piece because the technique of its creator, Mr. Akira Yamaguchi is unbelievable!
