Description
[Machine Translation] The train commuting lifestyle that we now accept as a matter of course. Behind this lifestyle lies a story of ideals and setbacks surrounding Tokyo's urban development. With Eiichi Shibusawa as producer, his son, Hideo, planned an urban development modeled on a rural town near London. One man's plan turned into an ambition to build a railroad. Amid calls for the restoration of the imperial capital after the Great Kanto Earthquake, a network of private railways is constructed. This film thoroughly examines how the unique city of Tokyo was built, with the founder of the Tokyu Group, Keita Goto, at the center. Following on the heels of "Portrait of the Mikado," this is an excellent work on modern Japan that depicts a self-portrait of Tokyo and the Japanese people.
