Japan has 33k businesses at least a century old
It&#x27;s interesting about growing older. I don&#x27;t know if this is a function of aging or a change in how humanity recons time. When I was younger, a century seemed like forever. Now it&#x27;s just 1920 and we have film, music, audio, books and so on from that time period readily available.<p>In many ways 1920 doesn&#x27;t really seem <i>all</i> that far away to me while 1860, 1870, 1880 (a century from when I was a child) seemed to be <i>forever</i> ago.<p>When I look at film and photos from 1920 I see modern people, people I could see meeting and having relatively modern conversations while when I look at media from the mid 1800s I see ancestors who I share very little with.
