Tokyo. 銀実会. [Ginjitsukai]. 1975. Stock ID #176313

Delightful brightly coloured pictorial folding map of Ginza in the mid 1970s. 53.2 x 75cm. Text in Japanese.

A delightful and colourful illustrated map of the Ginza entertainment area of Tokyo, published in 1975. The designer's name is given as A. Shibata. One side of the map shows the basic layout of city blocks (essential for finding addresses in Japan!) and the locations of the main boutiques, restaurants and department stores, along with a subway map. The other provides a bird's-eye view map of Ginza in psychadelic colours, complete with vehicles in the streets and charming cartoon figures sleeping in hotels, counting money in banks, bathing in a bath house, enjoying a game in a bowling alley, performing the can-can in a theatre etc. A wonderful and nostalgic evocation of 1970s Tokyo, and of the dress and design styles of the era.
