 Takeshi Kaiko "Zubari Tokyo"

   On this site, it seems that photos of "Cityscape", "Life", and "Festivals / Events" in Chuo-ku at the time of 1964 will be posted on "Minna no Memories Album".

 Takeshi Kaiko's "Zubari Tokyo" (Bunshun Bunko) is a report on the transformation and enthusiasm of Tokyo at the time of the Tokyo Olympics, and from the October 4, 1963 issue of "Weekly Asahi" to the November 1964 issue of 58 times It was serialized.

 The beginning is "Nihonbashi, which has no sky, water, or poetry."

It is described as follows.

"Is there anyone who remembers the liberation of their minds across Nihonbashi in Tokyo? There is no "sky" or "water" here. There is no big difference. There is a staggered black waste liquid and a steel-framed highway that leans over the head. It seems that this bridge is no longer a bridge due to the needs of the city. The faint poems, which straddled for the expansion of Tokyo, were completely suffocated. As we pass through it, we enjoy the word "dive" rather than "crossing" here. The bridge, which was blocked by the steel highway, was 10 meters in the daytime dark shadows. I don't cross the bridge. It's going under the guard. Looking up at the dark steel roads, we feel a strong and strong energy, but we want to keep our eyes down and close our hearts and solidify our hearts."

 Compared to 50 years ago, I think the current water quality of the Nihonbashi River has improved considerably, but the highway covering the sky remains unchanged. However, the underground construction of the Metropolitan Expressway over the Nihonbashi River was approved for a city planning project on April 30, this year, and the underground route is scheduled to be completed in 2035, and then the removal of the current viaduct will be completed in 1940. It is a plan. 

 This Kaiko Report also includes a dialogue with the captain of Tsukuda Island Ferry Terminal (at that time, the 35th year of ferry service, 64 years old).

    Among them, this captain said, "Soryakokora's water was broken. Before the war, it looked through to the bottom. The oysters were stuck tightly. ・... I sank the bamboo tube and crawled in the middle of the night in the morning, and sometimes took it. ・The water was clean. At night, the sound of gunworms eating the boards and pillars of the ferryboat sounded like beetles and beetles, but now they have disappeared. "

 And while saying, "Tsukuda will change," but "Even if Tsukuda Shimbashi is built, a lot of taxis come and I think the town will not change much. This is different from other towns. "But the subway Yurakucho Line (Tsukishima Station opened in June 1988) and Oedo Line (Tsukishima Station opened in December 2000) are opened, and the tower apartment is 57 years later, what is said to be when you look at the current appearance of the forest?
