It was originally serialized in a newspaper before eventually being compiled into a novel in 1930. Plot In the 1920s, Asakusa was to Tokyo what Montmartre had been to 1890s Paris and Times Square was to be to 1940s New York City New York . The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa, by Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata, captures the decadent allure of this entertainment district, where beggars and teenage prostitutes mixed with revue dancers and famous authors. Originally serialized in a Tokyo daily newspaper in 1929 and 1930, this vibrant novel uses unorthodox, kinetic literary techniques to reflect the raw energy of Asakusa, seen through the eyes of a wandering narrator and the cast of mostly female juvenile delinquents who show him their way of life. Markedly different from Kawabata s later work, The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa shows this important writer in a new light. The annotated edition of this little known literary gem includes the original illustrations by Ota Saburo . The annotations illuminate Tokyo society and Japanese literature, bringing this fascinating piece of Japanese modernism at last to a wide audience.

distinguish2 Nippombashi Station in Osaka, Japan File Tokyo Nihombashi Sta B9.JPG thumb Tokyo Metro station entrance Nihombashi Station Nihonbashi eki is a metro station subway station in the Nihombashi district of Tokyo , Japan . History The Tokyo Underground Railway which built the Asakusa Shimbashi section of the Ginza Line opened a station here on December 24, 1932, when they extended the line south to Ky bashi. On September 1, 1941, they merged with the Tokyo Rapid Railway to form the Teito Rapid Transit Authority. The next development was the opening of Edobashi Station on February 28, 1963, when Toei Line 1 was extended to Higashi Ginza. Transfer was allowed between the two lines here, but the complex only became a true interchange when the T zai Line station opened on September 14, 1967. Toei Line 1 only received its name the Asakusa Line on July 1, 1978, and Edobashi station changed its name on March 19, 1989 out of fear that it would be confused with Edogawabashi Station on the Y rakuch Line, which opened in 1974 .
