Hey! 'Nihonbashi Minamizume'
The "Kidai Shoran" picture scroll depicting the vitality of Nihonbashi Kitazume in the Edo period, about 220 years ago, is beautifully displayed on the wall of the underground concourse at Mitsukoshimae Station on the Ginza Line. Near the exit of Nihombashi Station on the Ginza Line, there is a large stained glass public art "Nihonbashi Minamizume Seinozume" depicting the history and transition of Nihonbashi Minamizume.
The "Nihonbashi Minamizume Seimei Nozume" is a collection of the cityscape of Nihonbashi Minamizume, which has developed as a commercial city, by Akira Yamaguchi, a leading painter in Japan, who supervised the original painting and production, and has been developed as a commercial city. This work condenses the transition of Nihonbashi Minamizume, and you can see the city as if you were traveling back and forth between the past and the present.
The underground construction of the Nihonbashi section of the Metropolitan Expressway has started, and around 2040, if you imagine that the blue sky will return over "Nihonbashi", hope for the future will spring. And I would like to see with my eyes the Kirin statue in the bridge light in the central bridge light of Nihonbashi, which was once created to express the prosperity of Tokyo City, shining divinely in the light of the sun.
