Homoco Valley [near Yokohama]. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-

At the time our picture was taken, the colour of the whole plain was a lovely bright green, the dark foliage of the trees on the hillsides forming a beautiful contrast ... all combine to make a lovely view in reality, and one that an artist could have no difficulty in transfering to canvas with excellent effect. But we have only the power, with our photographic apparatus, of presenting our readers here and at a distance, with a mere shadow of one of the innumerable pretty 'glimpses' we get in our rambles within a mile or two of the settlement ...'
