This is great - what an amazingly narrow building! Is the sign for the office of a person who makes hanko/inkan?

Marty, I can't read Kanji, but according to my wife it's the office of a legal assistant.

All the best,
Mike

Thanks, my kanji reading is super rusty.

Judicial Scrivener, 司法書士, shihō shoshi of course. Someone who stamps/officiates things for you, not someone who makes stamps. Got it. Thank your wife.

This is fantastic. I tried to take a photo like this in Victoria, Australia of some mountain ash (actually a Eucalyptus, E. regnans) in film days using the Nikkor 15mm f3.5 but the lens rendered the trees quite wavy. A combination of 50 odd years of lens design improvement and some software works wonders.

After WWII the U.S. Army occupation force requisitioned this building and showed movies to the troops in this theater.
