In the ruins of the terminal station, people and goods gathered once more, and a market was born. The fervor of those trying to rebuild their lives, escaping the eyes of control, accelerated a reckless "reconstruction." What was sold at the stalls? How did the street vendors of the Kanto Matsuda-gumi in Shinbashi and the Ozu-gumi in Shinjuku manage the entertainment districts? What was the structure of the drinking establishments? This book depicts the "original landscape" of post-war Tokyo from the perspective of the people who lived there. Kodansha Gakujutsu Bunko
