There are lots of yureizaka (phantom slopes) in Tokyo, and at least seven of them have been spooking lily-livered pedestrians since the Edo Period (1603-1867). The slope I head for, in broad daylight, slants through the somnolent graveyards of old temples from the early 1600s. It's a beastly summer day, so I'm hoping for some chills.

Four-Legged Taxi Takes To Streets In NaraTOKYO (Nikkei)--Just like the good ol' days of the Edo period (1603-1867), a palanquin service has taken to the roads near Sarusawa Pond, Nara, Nara Prefecture.

More specifically, they aimed at the ukiyoe (woodblock prints) look, but...
... of mathematicians, called Seki school, which was the most influential in Japan until the end of Edo period . Seki was born in Fujioka in Gunma prefecture to the Uchiyama clan, and was later adopted into the Seki family. His birth year is disputed; since the Meiji period there have been two opinions — one that he was born in 1637, and another that it was 1642. Neither opinion is backed...
Whenever I travel to Tokyo I make it a point to spend at least a good part of one day on a visit to Shibamata in Katsushika Ward. This lovely neighborhood tucked away in the remote northeastern corner of the city on the banks of the Edogawa River still retains some of the flavor of the Edo Period (1603-1867).

Every neighbourhood...
