Reflection of the historical Yokohama Customs Building. Rebuilt in 1934 after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Design elements of an Islamic mosque were the inspiration for the dome, while Western-European Romanesque elements were used for the rest building, especially the interior.

View of Red Brick Warehouse No. 1 and plaza from a museum window in Warehouse No. 2. Construction of Warehouse No. 2 was completed in 1911, and No. 1 was completed in 1913. Most of Yokohama was destroyed by the massive 1923 earthquake, but both warehouses remained in relatively better condition due to modern building techniques. In 1945, the U.S. Army took control of the Port and used both warehouses for military supplies. After 10 years of restoration work, the city of Yokohama turned the warehouses into a major cultural and commercial center that attracts visitors from the world over.

Art installation titled "Atlas 2016" by Irish artist, Kathy Prendegrast, consists of 100 copies of the "AA Road Atlas of Europe" with the open pages blacked out with Indian ink and displayed on trestle tables. I read the back story on this work, but it was still over my head. Regardless, I like the contrast of black ink and bright exterior lighting.
