Pour ceux qui souhaiteraient quelques petites informations en plus sur l’histoire de Edo/Tokyo, suite à la bonne vidéo de @notabenemovies.bsky.social sur le sujet.
1/5 Concernant la vidéo sur l'histoire de Tokyo, un point important était consacré aux destructions successives de de la ville, mais peu sur sa construction, et notamment les terrassements, qui ont autant si ce n'est plus modifié l'aspect de la ville.
