Big Pictures Of Small Things

There are a few beautiful dioramas at Tokyo's Edo museum, a place devoted to the city's history. They're Tokyo in miniature, all bustling with life at a specific moment in time. The displays looked like fancy train sets without the trains.

With apologies to the great photographer David Levinthal, here are some of James' examples aimed at trying to bring the displays to life.

Tokyo town, way back when.


A stately coach and a gentleman out for a stroll, dog included.

A city street, at the tip of the modern world.


But those wagons keep holding on.
