EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the vibrant and bustling scene of Yurakucho in Tokyo, Japan, as viewed from Gaisen Road in the late 1910s. The image presents a unique perspective of the area, which was then part of the Marunouchi District, known for its modern development and commercial activity. At the heart of the scene is the Babasaki intersection, where Gaisen Road meets the busy streets of Yurakucho and Chidorigafuchi. The intersection is dominated by the majestic Imperial Theatre, which stands proudly on the right-hand side of the photograph. The theatre, a symbol of Japanese culture and arts, was a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. In the background, the towering Mitsubishi offices can be seen, a testament to the economic power and industrial might of Japan during this period. The buildings, with their distinctive red-tiled roofs and ornate facades, exude an air of sophistication and prosperity. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Tokyo, with pedestrians making their way through the crowded streets, horse-drawn carts and rickshaws navigating the narrow roads, and vendors selling their wares from street-side stalls. This photograph is a fascinating window into the history of Tokyo and Japan during a time of significant growth and transformation. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the rich cultural and historical heritage of this remarkable city.
