A history of Akihabara

Post by greg »

There is a great blog called the Tokyo Scum Brigade. I got to hang out with one of the writers of this blog last year as we cruised Akihabara together for an afternoon. This page has made a very interesting collection of articles on the history of Akihabara:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

I'm looking forward to part 4. These are no-nonsense guys covering interesting and quirky things about Japan and the manga/game culture.
