Looking west from Nihon bashi (bridge), towards the centre of Tokyo, Japan, 1904. This print by Underwood & Underwood takes us back in time to early 20th century Tokyo. The image showcases a bustling scene along the riverbank, where boats gracefully glide through the water while men stand on poles guiding their way. The cityscape is dominated by traditional Japanese buildings, with their intricate designs and unique architecture adding charm to the crowded streets. As we gaze further into the distance, our eyes are drawn towards the heart of Tokyo's center. The towering structures hint at a rapidly developing metropolis that would soon become one of the world's most vibrant cities. This stereoscopic card captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides valuable insight into Japan's rich cultural heritage and its transition into modernity during this era. It serves as a visual testament to how geography shapes society as well as showcasing transportation methods prevalent at that time. Underwood & Underwood masterfully captured this snapshot of everyday life in Musashi Province without commercial intent but rather with an appreciation for documenting history. Through this photograph, we can feel ourselves transported back over a century ago, standing on Nihon bashi bridge and witnessing firsthand the beauty and energy that defines Tokyo.
