High-definition Image Database of Old Photographs of Japan.
Contains 201 photographs of Nagasaki and 300 photographs of other
parts of Japan. These photographs are extremely clear and thus
contain a wealth of information about the urban landscapes, scenery
and customs of the period in which they were taken. In order to tap
into this valuable resource, the database employs high-definition
imaging to maintain a high level of detail even at magnifications
of five to ten times on the computer screen.
