Dance party held to mark 150th anniversary of Yokohama Port

YOKOHAMA, Japan - Men and women wearing outfits in the style of late 19th century Japan, symbolizing the country's westernization during the Meiji era, dance at Hotel New Grand in Yokohama on Feb. 25 at a party to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Yokohama Port. The dances were reminiscent of those at the famous Rokumeikan Hall built in 1883, where Japanese and foreign dignitaries held evening and dance parties.
