Hello!
I am dating this photo to about 1950 and it is positively identified as having been taken in Gifu, Japan. On the reverse of the photo is written ' This is town of Gifu. Notice how narrow the streets are and how the people dress. Most of them dress American but some Oriental '. I know Gifu sustained quite a bit of damage during WWII but I think this photo was taken late 1940's early 1950's during the American Occupation. I always like vintage street scenes and wondered if forum members might be able to translate some of the signage from the store fronts. I always enjoying that aspect of vintage street scenes.
