Yukio Mishima's novel "Happiness Go Deho" was serialized in the Yomiuri Shimbun from June to November 1955, and a book was published in 1956 (1956). The main character's brother and sister (although it is finally revealed that blood is not connected) grew up in an old rented house in Tsukishima, and his sister works in a department store in Ginza, Tsukishima and Kachidokibashi often appear during his work.
During the work, smuggling around Tokyo Bay and the Sumida River is depicted, but at that time Japan was under full protectionism and imported goods were subject to high tariffs, so smuggling goods at that time had many items such as watches and were mainly done by ships.
There are the following descriptions in the beginning of the work.

Suddenly, the scorched point of the lens is fixed to the bridge that connects the fish shore, and clearly shows the willow at the side of the bridge and the self-turned car.

On the outskirts of the roof of the fish riverbank, the quench of the bonded warehouse on the opposite bank of Kachidokibashi looked like him. （8－352）
There is a store in N department store, but it is unknown whether Matsuya, Mitsukoshi or Matsuzakaya. Since Matsuzakaya is under construction, we examined the view from the roof of the current Matsuya and Mitsukoshi department stores.
Even if you look at the Sumida River from the roof of Matsuya, you can hardly see the view as follows. You can barely see the top of the St. Luke's Tower.
From the 12th floor of Mitsukoshi, you can see the East Drama Building, but you can't see Hamarikyu or Tsukiji Honganji.
