東亰時代: 江戸と東京の間で (NHKブックス 371)

Ogi Shinzo

Tokei Jidai: Between Edo and Tokyo is Shinzo Ogi's work of urban social history. It argues that Edo did not simply become the modern capital Tokyo in one leap, and portrays the transitional urban life of the early Meiji period through ordinary people's lives and the lingering presence of Edo culture.

Work Information

A social history of early Meiji urban life between Edo and Tokyo.

The book treats early Meiji Tokyo not as a simple success story of modernization, but as the age of "Tokei," where Edo-era habits of life intersected with the institutions of civilization and enlightenment. It follows work, housing, prices, education, amusements, and the feel of the city to show how ordinary people experienced rapid change. The result captures the complex expression of a city still carrying Edo's traces while becoming a modern capital.
