In "Monoshiri Encyclopedia", Chapter 2 describes "Ginza, which has been revived from the Great Kanto Earthquake," and describes "Ginza, which has regained its liveliness through the earthquake reconstruction project." (page 122)

　Here, it is stated that "Ginza, where access has improved significantly, has opened a famous department store and has begun accepting a wide range of customers," but the department store began to enter Ginza after the Great East Japan Earthquake (1923/1923).

　For example, Matsuzakaya in Ueno opened a branch in Ginza in 1924, the oldest department store in Ginza, and it was a department store that tried to enter the store for the first time.

　Matsuya Kimono Store in Kanda Imagawa Bridge and the current Matsuya Department Store opened its Ginza office in Ginza 3-chome in May 1925, about a year and a half after the earthquake. The trade name was changed to "Matsuya Kimono Store Co., Ltd." in 1924, and it was in 1948 that the trade name was changed to "Matsuya Co., Ltd."

　Furthermore, in June 1928, "Mitsukoshi, Ltd. kimono shop" changed its trade name to "Mitsukoshi, Ltd." and opened the Ginza store in April 1930. In this way, there were three department stores, Matsuya, Matsuzakaya, and Mitsukoshi.

 　In 1932, the Hattori Clock Store Building (now Ginza Wako Main Store), which can be said to be a symbol of Ginza, was completed. "The rebuilding was planned during the Taisho era, but construction was greatly delayed due to the effects of the Great Kanto Earthquake. As a result, a steel-framed reinforced concrete building with enhanced earthquake resistance was born. "(Page encyclopedia; page 38).

In Monoshiri Encyclopedia, Ginza has been revived as a result of the earthquake disaster reconstruction project.

> 1910 (1910), the first cafe in Tokyo, Maison Konosu, opened in Koamicho, Nihonbashi-ku. Ginza's first cafe "Cafe Plantan" opened in March of the following year, and in August of the same year, a three-story "Cafe Lion" opened at the current Ginza 5-chome corner. ・・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ In the Taisho era, the success of “Cafe Lion” became a prime water, and cafes opened in Ginza Brick Street one after another. And Ginza will enter a gorgeous era with the scent of Taisho romance.

It is said. (page 122)

　Kafu is also actively stepping into the cafe, and on November 20, 1926, Nissha stated in detail the state of the cafe at that time, saying, `` Tag opened from the spring of the year following the earthquake, In contrast to the lionkaku in Owaricho, I think that it is now superior to its prosperity. There are other sake shishi on Ginza Street that can be called Syogetsu and Ginbura."

　As stated by Kafu, "Cafe Lion" (Lionkaku) opened earlier in 1911, and was managed by Seiyoken Tsukiji. After that, the Tiger was formed in 1924.

　Kafu began in the Showa era around the end of the Taisho era, and especially went to this "Cafe Tiger" (tag). On September 28, 1927, alimony of 130 yen for the female salary of Cafe Tiger? I'm paying for it.

　Tiger is a large store with a female salary of 200 people at one time. Kan Kikuchi brought many friends and employees of Bungei Shunju and drunk beer. "Ginza March" (1928) says, "I like Tiger Girl's Bunshi and I like Lion Weightress Lady."
