Showa Snap: Two-tone taxis teem toward Tokyo terrace

It’s been a while since we had a Showa Snap, but here’s a striking photo of taxi drivers gathered in front of a row of storefronts. Note that the 230 and 330 Nissan Cedric cabs have no toplights, and that the various taxi companies are denoted by vivid two-tone paint jobs. We know these aren’t privately-owned vehicles because of their green license plates.  The businesses include what looks like a travel agency and a small food market. The image was likely taken in 1975, meaning these young drivers are probably retirees by now.
