Exploring Tokyo's Transformation into a Modern City Post-Earthquake

Credited from: LEMONDE

  • On September 1, 1923, a devastating earthquake struck the Kanto region around Tokyo, resulting in significant loss of life and destruction.
  • The disaster led to a complete reconstruction of the city, which underwent rapid modernization from the Meiji era onward.
  • Tokyo's population soared from 2 million to 5 million within 15 years due to extensive urban development.
  • An exhibition at the Maison de la culture du Japon à Paris features prints from early 20th-century artists documenting this transformation.
  • These artworks highlight the shift from the traditional ukiyo-e prints to representations of a more modern Tokyo after the earthquake.
