Akimi Ishimoto, a deceased co-founder of Japa Vietnam who was herself a photographer took these photos of the old city of Hoian. From the 16nth century on, Japanese traders built a small town in Hoian, known as the Japanese town. The postcards, published by the 'Group to Restore the Historic Sites of Hoian' are a posthumous work of Ms Ishimoto. The profit from their selling goes to both, Japa Vietnam and the restoration of the historic relics of Hoian.
A Set of 8 postcards sells for 1,000Yen=$10
