Shinjiro Ogawa Town-walking illustrator
The Shinsen Station area next to Shibuya Station used to be rich in spring water, and the public baths there were a popular place for travellers to relax and enjoy themselves. The Inokashira Line suddenly emerges from the maze of ups and downs of the town. First published in: Monthly Tokyoite, February 2024.
Shabano Kiyosaku, To the Sea, 1930
color woodblock
Designed for the Ministry of Railways, using the swimming athlete and film actress Mikoshiba Hatsuko as the model, the work was deemed unsuitable for the ministry’s image – but eventually purchased by a private railway company, Keisei, to advertise its water park. The poster is unusual in that it was produced using traditional woodblock printing, rather than lithography, evidenced by subtle woodgrain in the blue background.

In 1930, Seisaku Shibano of the Railway Ministry’s Passenger Division drew this film based on the model of swimmer Eiko Mikoshiba, but it was rejected by the Ministry of Railways because Shotaro Kakehi, Director of the Transport Bureau, said it was “very erotic with its bare thighs…” and was bought by Keisei Electric Railway for 70 yen (in those days, 60 sen for a bowl of eel. and 1 yen = 100 sen) The last stop was still Oshiage.
1930年鉄道省旅客課の芝野清作が水泳選手の御子柴栄子をモデルに描いた本作だが筧正太郎運輸局長の「太腿があらわでまことにエロチック・・・」との横槍で鉄道省では不採用、京成電気軌道に70円(当時うな丼60銭の時代)で買い上げられて日の目を見た。まだ終点が押上。
