A visit to the Tokyo Stock Exchange two times on the same day in June 1990 - once before it was jumping, and then again later (after going out for lunch), when the trading was roaring along. There are different ways of determining how long the bubble economy lasted, with some saying at the end of 1989, and others the early months of 1991. On the day I visited in June 1990, there was no sign of gloom, there was clapping on the floor, and it's obvious that many thought the high times could somehow continue. Also in this clip is a cashier manually entering the price at a cash register, me having a glass of "ice coffee", and views of a vast sea of trucks on the elevated expressways. Also notice how the high school girls visiting the stock exchange all have very long skirts. It was right around this time (maybe a year later) that I remember seeing the first set of mini-skirt uniform schoolgirls, which would have been unthinkable in the eighties.
