The Story Behind The Artwork:
Subway
From the series 100 Views of New Tokyo, 1931
By Maekawa Senpan
Ashmolean Museum (EA2020.108)
Following the catastrophic Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1923 much of Tokyo was rebuilt according to modern methods of urban planning. New places of interest and the social realities of a new age began to appear in prints. An optimistic example of this was the One Hundred Views of New Tokyo (Shin Tōkyō hyakkei) series, produced by eight leading Creative Print artists celebrating everyday modern life in Tokyo after the 1923 quake. The series emphasised the architectural and lifestyle changes of the new era, with its factories, subways, department stores and baseball stadiums.
