Very good. Size 14 x 27.75 Inches. A curious 1873 ukiyo-e triptych produced by Kunisada III depicting the Tokyo-Yokohama steam train and Shimbashi Station, Japan's first modern railway and Tokyo's first train station, respectively. The view also presents the neighborhood of Ginza, rebuilt following a fire the previous year, as a showpiece of modernization by the Meiji government. A Closer Look This view is divided into two 'tiers' with the top tier displaying a train leaving Tokyo's Victorian-style Shimbashi Station, bound for Yokohama. The bottom tier depicts the Ginza neighborhood of central Tokyo, which was similarly rebuilt in a Victorian British style after the entire neighborhood burned down in a fire in 1872. Aside from architecture and technology, the effects of Western influence can be seen in the clothing of some (though not nearly all) people, rickshaws, horses, and carriages. The two black-clad, stick-wielding figures at right are likely police officers; at this time, Japan was transitioning from a samurai-led force to a modern, centralized police force modeled on that of France and Prussia. Japan's First Modern Railway Although Japan had already seen dramatic changes in the years since the forcible opening of the country to foreign trade in 1859, throughout the 1860s, the pace of change quickened and spread out from relative isolation in treaty ports like Yokohama. Although accompanied by social upheaval and civil war, this period was also exhilarating and dynamic. With the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the central government encouraged the rapid adoption and domestication of foreign technologies, including railways. Foreign engineers and advisors brought in by the government advised the construction of a railway between Tokyo and Yokohama, which hitherto required taking the coastal Tokaido road or traveling by boat. Although earlier foreign travelers had brought model locomotives to Japan and a short demonstration line was built in Nagasaki in 1868, the line between Tokyo and Yokohama was the country's first true railway, as well as a major financial and political commitment by the new Meiji government. British railway engineer Edmund Morel helped to design and plan the railway, including training Japanese railway engineers. Unfortunately, he did not live to see its completion, dying of tuberculosis in November 1871 in Yokohama. Built on a narrow 'Cape gauge' (3 feet 6 inches) as opposed to the wider 'Stephenson gauge' (now known as standard gauge), the Tokyo-Yokohama line terminated at Shimbashi Station in Tokyo. Though tickets were very expensive for most Japanese, the line nevertheless proved to be extremely popular, further propelling Japan's breakneck modernization and setting a model used for decades as Japan evolved into one of the world's premier railway nations. Ginza - Tokyo's Fifth Avenue Incidentally, Shimbashi Station was located near the Ginza neighborhood, which was long an important, centrally-located neighborhood in Tokyo (earlier Edo). Its name (??), referring to a silver mint there, was well-chosen, hinting at its future wealth and glamor. In 1872, a devastating fire swept through Tokyo and destroyed much of the Ginza area, a common occurrence due to the prevalence of wooden buildings, which were highly susceptible to fire. In response, the newly-ensconced Meiji government decided to rebuild Ginza as a model of modernization and Westernization, with wider streets, shopping promenades, and brick or stone buildings that were less fire-prone. British engineers were called in to design the new neighborhood, resulting in an area, nicknamed 'bricktown' (???), resembling the poshest neighborhoods of London. Ironically, foreigners disliked the new Ginza, thinking it lacked authenticity. Meiji Era Tokyo With the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the Tokugawa Shogunate was displaced from Edo, and the Emperor Meiji moved the imperial capital from Kyoto to Edo (renamed Tokyo, 'eastern capital'). The Meiji era was a.

Very good. Light wear and toning along original fold lines. Verso repairs at fold intersections. Closed margin tears professionally repaired on verso. Blank on verso. Size 30 x 42 Inches. This is a 1948 General Headquarters, Far East Command city plan or map of the Marunouchi District in central Tokyo, Japan, created for Allied (predominantly American) soldiers during the brief Allied occupation of Tokyo. This map provides an extraordinary overview of life in the city during an ephemeral period. Streets throughout the district are labeled, many of which, such as 1st Street, 10th Street, and 5th Street, were simply given names by the occupying officials who could not understand the Japanese names. Others are marked simply as Ave Y and Ave Z. Hundreds of locations are labeled by name and small circles, which identify whether that location is frequented by 'Allied Forces', 'Allied Forces and Japanese or non-Allied Forces', or 'Japanese or non-Allied Forces'. To cite only a handful of these: various motor pools, the American clubs, supply stores, and government office buildings are among these sites. Many are hotels and those billeted there, be they officers, enlisted men, women, or civilians, are identified in parentheses. Many GHQ buildings are noted, along with the headquarters of Stars and Stripes in Tokyo, the British Embassy, and the Japanese Diet Building. The Allied Occupation of Japan Preparations for the Occupation of Japan began soon after the Japanese government notified Allied forces that they would accept the Potsdam Declaration on August 14, 1945. This document, issued on July 26, 1945, outlined the terms under which the Allies would accept the surrender of the Empire of Japan. American personnel arrived in Japan on August 28, and the formal Japanese Instrument of Surrender was signed on the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2. General Douglas MacArthur was named the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) and placed in charge of the Occupation. Under his leadership, though nominally with the input of an advisory council, the Allied powers undertook the complete reorganization of Japanese society. These reforms included disarmament, liberalization, and democratization. By the end of 1945, over 350,000 U.S. personnel were stationed throughout Japan. The Treaty of San Francisco, signed on September 8, 1951, ended the occupation on April 28, 1952. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by the Nihon Chikei Sha under the direction of the Chief Engineer of the General Headquarters of the Far East Command in May 1948 and printed by the Mitsumura Printing Company Limited in June 1948. At least three different editions of this map were published. It is unclear which edition was the first, but it is likely the one printed by the 64th Engineer Base Topographic Battalion, making the present example the second edition. A third edition was published by the Kyodo Printing Company in 1949. The OCLC records examples of this map as part of the institutional collections at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California Berkeley, the Library of the National Diet in Tokyo, and the National Library of Australia, although it is unclear exactly which edition each example represents. We are aware of one example of what we believe to be the first edition which is part of the institutional collection at Princeton University.
