I’ll get around to describing Obon later, but for now, here are some pictures of Spectacles Bridge. It was built in 1634 and is notable for its Chinese design (Nagasaki was one of the few places where Chinese merchants could live during the period of national isolation in Japan). It is named Spectacles Bridge because the reflection in the water resembles a pair of glasses.
