Yaesu Book Center Main Store, opposite Yaesu South Exit of JR Tokyo Station Yaesu 2-chome, is currently holding an exhibition and sale of reprinted old maps of Edo, Meiji, and Showa.
Needless to say, Yaesu Book Center is one of the largest bookstores in Tokyo, and when it opened in 1978, it was Japan's largest bookstore.
As a student at that time, I remember thinking, "I can stay here for a day" in the sense of happiness surrounded by specialized books (It's a story from an era where there is no shadow or shape such as Amazon).
Currently, an old map exhibition and sale is being held on this first floor.
On display are maps of Japan and middle maps of the Edo period, maps of Edo and bird's-eye views of Tokyo in Meiji period. Referring to the location of Edo Castle and Hamarikyu, when you start thinking about what is going on at the time of the upper residence of the feudal clan at that time, you forget to see the passage of time.
I think it's beautiful with color printing and can be enjoyed as an interior.
The event will be held until July 12 (Sun).
By the way, because it is located in a business district, I remember that Sunday was closed at the time of opening, but now it is also open on Sunday.
