Posted: December 17th, 2021 | No Comments »

Talking of the 1955 movie House of Bamboo yesterday (here) and the Matsuya Departrment store rooftop amusements, that movie (filme don location in Tokyo in 1954) also had some great shots of the so-called “Ant City” (at least called that by the Americans, not sure if the Japanee used the name of where it originated?). The banks of the Sumida are now of course totally different so these are particularly interesting….
