From the Archives #003: Lane in Nagasaki (December, 1999)

I dug up an old sketch from almost 11 years ago, drawn at almost the same spot as that of November 14 this year (http://sketching-along.blogspot.com/2010/11/nagasaki-finally.html)...that's the same electrical post. This older one's much closer to the shop on the right (still there and operating), but boy was I young, persistent, and patient to get into this much detail! As I seem to recall, I talked with an elderly man from the neighbourhood who said he used to work for Kenzo Tange (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenzo_Tange). He seemed indeed about his age.
