  • “Kidai Shoran”
    “Kidai Shoran” What is the picture scroll Kidai Shoran? Kidai Shoran is a work that depicts a bird’s-eye view of the Nihonbashi street in Edo from the east side. It shows the main street between Nihonbashi and Imagawabashi (now, Chuo street) in 1805, over 200 years ago. e original is possessed by Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Although this excellent work is characterized by a warm sight and delicate touch, regrettably the name of the painter is unknown. e work vividly depicts 88 wholesale and retail stores, 1,671 people with various positions and jobs, 20 dogs, 13 horses, 4 cows, 1 monkey, 2 falcons, etc. Interesting scenes unfold one after another. e title Kidai Shoran seems to mean “an excellent scene of the great city of Edo in a glorious era.” It is just as if we slipped back in time to the Edo period. GUIDE TO THE EXHIBITIONS Regarding Kidai Shoran as a valuable work that will hand down the history and culture of Nihonbashi-street to future generations, the Nihonbashi-bridge Preservation Society and Committee for the 100-Year Renaissance Plan for Nihonbashi and Environs created and exhibited an about 17-meter copy of the picture scroll with the permission of Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and under the general supervision of the Edo-Tokyo Museum. e picture part of the copy is 40% larger than that of the original. e copy has been printed on Japanese paper. e panel surrounding the picture shows explanations about the townspeople’s culture in the Edo period.

  • Shibuya City Industry and Tourism Vision
    渋谷区 Shibuya City Preface Preface In October 2016, Shibuya City established the Shibuya City Basic Concept with the goal of becoming a mature international city on par with London, Paris, and New York. The goal is to use diversity as a driving force, with our vision of the future: 'Shibuya—turning difference into strength'. One element of the Basic Concept is setting a direction for the Shibuya City Long-Term Basic Plan of 'A city with businesses unafraid to take risks', which is a future vision of industry and tourism unique to Shibuya City. Each area in Shibuya City has its own unique charm with a collection of various businesses and shops, and a great number of visitors from inside Japan and overseas, making it a place overflowing with diversity. With the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games being held this year, 2020 is our chance for Shibuya City to become a mature international city. In this regard, I believe we must make even further progress in industry and tourism policies for the future of the city. To accomplish this, I believe a plan that further details the policies in the Long-Term Basic Plan is necessary, which is why the Industry and Tourism Vision has been established. Industry and tourism in Shibuya City faces a wide range of challenges that must be tackled, including environmental improvements and safety issues for accepting inbound tourism and industry. In order to further revitalize the shopping districts and small to medium sized businesses in the city, I also believe it is important to take on new challenges such as building a startup ecosystem and nighttime economy.
