Some of the workshop participants found the pictures of the local farmer’s market

they were selling, and the crowdedness of the market.
Secondly, after learning the stories of the past from the interviews, the participants each chose one picture and visited the same location to observe buildings,
landscape, and people’s activities of today. By identifying landmarks at each place
such as old walls, power line poles, and mountain scenery, the participants took
pictures from an angle that best approximated the same angle in the old pictures.
They also walked around the place in the old pictures and observed the activities
taking place today. When encountering some people in the area, they interviewed
them to collect information about those places. Through this process, the participants gained a better understanding of the places they had chosen in two different
points of time. This activity helped the participants perceive the Gojome of 2016
