Hue - Japanese Bridge - 2006

This is the old Japanese Covered Bridge (Cau Nhat Ban) in downtown Hoi An.   Originally built in the 1590’s by the Japanese trading community.  It has been rebuilt several times, but finally restored in 1986.  It is a delightful little addition of Japanese understatement to the prevailing Vietnamese and Chinese overstatement around town.
