Street Scene in Yokosuka, Japan, Near U.S. Navy Base, Vietnam War Era
A street in Yokosuka, Japan -- home to a major U.S. Navy base -- displays a mix of Japanese and English signage catering to American sailors on liberty, including car dealerships and specialty shops. A large labor union banner reflects the complex social and economic relationship between the local community and the nearby American naval presence during the Vietnam War era. Project: 218116
