You do not let the misleading presence of color in photographs. The consequences of manual processing of photos aniline dye. All the pictures you see, were made between 1865 and 1895 years. Just at this time, Tokyo was renamed from the old name and became the capital of Edo Japan. Before that, we recall, was the country's main city of Kyoto. The pictures you see now are made by Japanese photographer Kusakabe Kimbey. That he then added the photos paint. So, in the picture you will see the sights of Tokyo itself, no skyscrapers and incredible population density. The focus will be the Imperial Palace, many parks, temple complexes and life of the Japanese.
