说明：A snapshot of Ginza in 1933. One of Tokyo's most celebrated entertainment and commercial districts, the fashionable area is ablaze with shop windows, streetlamps, neon signs, and the gleaming bodywork of late-model automobiles. The illuminated cityscape evokes New York's Fifth Avenue and Japan's headlong embrace of modernity. The pavement teems with pedestrians; among them, two women in kimono beneath winter coats stand in direct contrast to the moga – a 'modern girl' – in the lower right corner, with her cropped hair and Western dress.
A similar impression of the post-war printing is in the collection of the Worcester Art Museum, object number 1997.145, go to:
